Petersburg, Va., Sept 13th 1868.

Capt N Houlter

Captain
Your endorsement of the 12th on the Report of M. Kimball, for the first time called my attention to the fact that said Report was addressed to a superior officer. I am mortified by my carelessness in not seeing this. It being on incidental Report, not called for by orders, should have been addressed to me. The irregularity of forwarding it to anyone other than to whom it was addressed is [[?]] and I know the General will not think me capable of treating him with discourtesy. His disapproval of course is [[?]] and just.

Very resptly
Your obt svt
