Dear Sir

Will you do me the favor to write for me a letter to Mr Lincoln, recommending me for a consular appointment abroad.

My health is poor from my exposure in the Service, and I believe I could fill the position indicated with credit to the country in whose service I have lost my health.

Very truly Your Obdt Sert
