His Excellency, Abraham Lincoln President &C.
Sir,
I take great pleasure and recommending William H. Ashburn of the 2nd Illinois Cavalry for a position in the Regular Army.
Mr. Ashborn has been engaged in active service during the war, and is worthy of the position he seeks, on account of his military service, ability, and education. His promotion will be but a proper tribute to a brave soldier, and a worthy young man.
Respectfully yours, Richd Yates
