I have the honor to respectfully ask of the General in charge of the War Office an appointment as Lt Col of Volunteers by brevet  

I have been nearly six years in service, have seldom asked a favor of the Government and shall cheerfully submit to my superior officers the merits of the case  If my application is favorably considered I shall be grateful for this additional expression of commendation. before I am mustered out of service

Being unacquainted with any representatives in Congress I have not asked this through that channel

Very rsptly
Your obt svt
