Petersburg Va
May 18, 1868.

Brig Gen. O. Brown
Asst Com. Dist of Va
Dear Sir:-

I have the honor to respectfully make application for an appointment in the "Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands" as an agent. My experience as an officer in the Union Army during the war, and my experience as a resident of this State during the past three years, warrants me in saying I would perform the duties of the office faithfully and to the entire satisfaction of yourself and of the government  

I can, if necessary, furnish a host of certificates of character and qualifications, but presume I am sufficiently well known not to make them requisite.

Very Respectfully
Your Obedt Servt
Patrick H Keenan
