Hon Sir

I take this liberty
to address you concerning my brother
Lieut S.B. Field of Company I 2nd Maine
Regt. Who is now in the Hospital at
Harrisons Landing  He writes us he has been sick
of a fever and is now very feeble. Would 
like to get leave of absence until he shall
have regained his health sufficiently to
do military duty. Can you assist him to
get a furlough?  If so I pray that you 
may do so. I very much fear that he is
dieing there

Please excuse the liberty I take
in troubling you

Yours Respectfully
Miss P.B. Field
