Sackets Harbor Jefferson, Co, N.Y. September 24, 1865. Colonel Sir I would respectfully request to be retained in service in the Bureau of which you are chief. Having been on duty as A.A.Q.M. & Supt. of the Poor on the staff of Bvt Brig Genl Ludlow since May last my duties made me somewhat familiar with the counties below the chickahominy. I would therefore be better fitted to serve in one of those counties if you should consider my application favorably. I am desirous of obtaining this employment as I have just been mustered out with my Regiment after a term of 17 years and ten months in Military Service and am disposed to support my family henceforth as a citizen. I am Sir
