Cairo Ill Dec 3d, 1861.

His Excellency

Rich'd Yates, Governor.

Sir:

Being informed that the Post of Commandant of Camp Butler is soon to be vacant, I respectfully apply for the appointment to fill such vacancy.

I have no doubt that I shall be fully able to redeem the promises of my friends, whose recommendation is herewith submitted. If I felt that the duties of that office could not be performed by me, to your entire satisfaction, this conviction alone would deter me from making the application.

Respectfully Your Ob't Sv't.

R. C. Rutherford.
