Ass't. Sub. Asst Commissioner while Lieutenant are holding positions as Sub. Asst. Commissioner within this district. This can only be constructed by the Army as a reflection upon me as an Officer.  In justice to myself and my position I ask that I be assigned to duty to a position commensurate with my rank and the rank of those with whom I serve. Should it be deemed unadvisable to grant my request I have the honor to respectfully request that I be relieved from duty and ordered to report to the Commissioner or to my Regiment

Very Respectfully
Your Obed't Servt
W.F. Lynch
Capt 42nd U.S. Infy
Bvt. Lt. Col. U.S.A.
