Maj, |

Enclosed I send you my recommendations endorsed by Maj
J. W. Young and approved by Genl Lee for promotion to Ast Qr Master.
I spoke to you about it as you passed through Meridian. |
| Will you please get the Qr Master Genl
approval on it and present it for the consideration of higher
authorities. By attending to this Maj you will confer a favor upon
one of your "Mo Soldiers." Please let me hear from you as soon as
possible. |
