Head Quarters 2d Brig Gen. Steeles Div. A.S.W.

Helena Ark. July 24 1862

Gov.;

I learn that there are to be some officers, for the Regts. now forming under the late call of the Pres., taken from regts already in the field. Should you feel disposed to take any Field officer from the 33d, I desire to recommend Capt. I. H. Elliott for the place.

Respectfully

Your Obt Servt
