Col.
I came up here yesterday to arrange some little business, and am seated today, for the purpose of communicating with you in regard to my appointment as Sub Asst. Comr. My desire is to be located adjacent to Houston, would prefer the Town of Columbia and the Counties that come under the jurisdiction of the Agent at that place. If my application meets the approval of the General will you please have my "appointment" with "authority to hire a Clerk" forwarded to me at this point, and I will at once enter upon the discharge of my duties.

I am Col
Very Truly
