Major Z. B. Vance,
Fort Niagara, New York.

My dear Major Vance:-

Your letter of the 6th just received and I appreciate your desire to serve with the troops of your native State. I do not know just what my authority in the premises will be, but I assure you that I shall give to your letter at the proper time the most careful and sympathetic consideration.

With much respect, I beg to remain,

Very truly yours,

[unsigned]
