Chimborazo. Nov 28th

Col Brown-
Sir-
I respectfully apply to you for one of the vacant wards now at Chimborazo. 
My desire is to take it down and build a house in which I wish to establish a grocery with the intention of aiding my Mother who is a widow with a family of young and helpless children.
I am the oldest of her family and being a cripple am unable to render assistance by any active employment. 
Since the fall of Richmond my Mother is destitute of every means of support. Hoping that you may grant my petition I am

Yours very respectfully - 
Munford Harrison
