Govenor Yates,

Dear Sir,

I thank you, for your second letter, received today. Neither Capt. Potter nor myself, suspected that my son ranked Capt. Campbell. otherwise, I should not have made the request. Much as I desire the change of my son's locality, I would not purchase it by a dishonorable action. Should an opening occur within your knowledge, of a position in this region, for my son, I should be greatly obliged for any information, and your influence. Please explain my ignorance of the circumstances, to Capt. Campbell.

Gratefully & sincerely
