To His Excellency

Hon. Richard Yates

Sir

Seeing that a number of new regiments are to be raised in this state I supposed that more surgeons might be needed and so I offer my services if any more are needed or any vacancy exists. I am a graduate of the Ohio Med. College and have practiced twelve years.

I spent five months last winter and Spring with Prof. Blackman who was medical director of Gen. Mitchell's Division of Ohio troops. For references I will refer you to Hon. William A Hacker, Col. William R. Morrison and Col. S. C. Taler.

If my assistance is needed I wish to know it as soon as possible and I will be ready immediately.

I remain respectfully

Your obedient

Servant

A. B. Agnew M. D.
