Dr Sir
When at Springfield about the 30 ult, I had an interview with you, and you will remember recommended the appointment of Wm. A. McLean of this County to a situation on the Staff or Quartermasters department, and you promised me to give the matter your Consideration, now I notice that you have appointed a Camp at Chicago, and I again take the liberty of urging upon your Excellency the Claims of Mr. McLean to such an appointment, I may say that if you require it McLean can procure the endorsement of every prominent man in this District, and I feel confident that his appointment would give much satisfaction to your friends in this part of the State
Very Respy
