Ills.
Sir:
Your letter of 2nd just received Under the new call for troops no new companies or regiments will be raised. Enlistments until the 1st week in January will be made for the old regiments. The recruiting since will be conducted under the immediate supervision of the Asst. Provost Marshals who I think would authorize you to recruit and receive the liberal premium offered for that service. I have no positions to give or I would most cheerfully consider yr claims & if possible give you a place. There are no officers to be appointed as the recruits all go to old regiments.
Yrs. Very Respectfully
Richd. Yates
