Sir
I have the honor to state that the reason I have changed my office is as follows to wit

The Office rented by Lt Dunn was badly located being in an out of the way place & over a low grogery.  It was very  open & cold.  There was no suitable means of warming it.  The room I now have is centrally located & in a quiet place & with a good stove & much more comfortable than the former one.

I would therefore respectfully request permission to make the change.

Very respectfully
Your obt servt
