Hon Sir

I had hoped to have found you in Springfield & had the pleasure of a personal interview with you in reference to a matter, which the accompanying papers will explain -- but as it is impossible for me to remain till your return -- may I ask you to read them and if in your power, grant the desired favor.

I know your love for our state soldiers and your disposition to reward meritorious service -- and shall feel under lasting obligations to you for whatever you may be able to do towards getting for my son a position which he is competent to fill

Respectfully Your Obt Servant
