Col Parks for about 15 years and I could not in all my acquaintance point out a man that I would consider more competent for that post than him. I am sat isfied that any objections which may have been raised to him are from jealous or selfish mo tives and I sincerely hope they may have no weight to affect the withholding of a commis sion. There are so many incompetent men thrusting themselves into responsible places in the Army, that I do hope that such as are really competent to fill places may not be cast aside through the misrepresentations of envious or designing individuals.

I have carefully examined his papers, and he has excellent testimonials from Gen. Guyon, Bern & Kossuth. A first Lieutenant in the Austrian Hussar he rose to the rank of major in the Hungarian Hussars (the first cavalry in the world) He ought to have a captaincy at least in a cavalry regiment. Gen. Prentiss knows him well and speaks highly of him. He refers also to Gov. Wood, Browning & Gen Singleton. The cavalry drill is a severe one, and but very few in the State could instruct in it.

I enlisted in the Cavalry Company, from this county with the expectation and promise of being 2nd [Beret?] Lieutenant, but there being so such officer, I was going as a private, but to this my friends were so much opposed that I reluctantly abandoned it, only the day before it recieved marching orders. However if I can go in some official capacity, they will have no objection to my going, and I will achieve the object I most ardently desire, that of taking part and parcel in this fight. As regards my moral character qualifications &c I refer to the enclosed letter of Mr Whiting (a warm personal and political friend of yours) with whom I have been reading Law for about a year and a half. If time permitted I could also procure <hr /> testimonials of a similar character from citizens of Wabash County who have known me from infancy up, and with whom you are personally aquainted. If I can suceed in getting the aid of your attention and influence (without trespassing too much on your time) in procuring for me a commission as a Lieutenant in one of the companies, or a position of any kind in the Regiment or in any of the infantry Regiments, I care not what it is, so I can get to go to the war, I will ever remain gratefully and truly yours Charles E.
