One of them I ask for him - I am very sure the Col. of the 20th (Marsh) would willingly consent to his appt for such a purpose. <pre>I regret that I could not stop to see you as I passed through Springfield but I shall go [down?] for the purpose in a few days, as soon as I can </pre> <hr /> clear off the business which has accumulated in my office during my absence.
