Millican, July 12, 1867

1 Lieut. Kirkman U.S.A
Dear Sir:

On the 30 ult. I have forwarded to you my application for an appointment in the Regular  Army, have you received it? and have you succeeded to get it recommended by Gen. Griffin? please inform me of it, and return the original recommendations of Gen. Birney, Ward & Strong. I have just rose from a sick bed, where I have been for 10 days; I am not able to do any work now, and have hired a man at my own expense, to assist me to comply with your letter of the 21' ult.
If possible allow me a clerk, if only for 1 or 2 months.

Very respectfully
your obedt. servant
Edwd. Miller
Capt. VRC.
