Your communication of date 24th inst was rec'd this day - and in reply I will state that it is my wish to remain in the Bureau at my present station in a civil capacity after my muster out on the 1st prox -

I would prefer to remain here if practicable as my wife has a situation as Teacher of Freedmen's school - and her salary added to mine will in the aggregate pay us very well though I should get but $100, or 125 a month. (She get $40.)

With many thanks for your kindness to me personally since I have been serving under you I remain
