General:-

I have this day forwarded the Sub Dist. Hd Qrs, an application for a leave of absence for thirty days, which I would be glad to have granted if you think there will not be an Election or convention for nominations within the time in which went I would not like to be absent.
I would not ask for a leave at this time but for my wife whose health has been very poor all winter and she is becoming reduced daily, and I am anxious to take her home and then if thought best let her remain there

I am Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servt.
