�
a brother of mine, wants to be the Quartermaster Sergeant. He is abundantly competent for the place having been for some time chief clerk in F.M. Sabine's store, and I should like to have him receive the appointment.
A.S. Packard Jr [underlined] of Brunswick wants the place of Hospital Steward. The surgeon recommends, I believe, but I mention him here.

The above frees my mind + conscience, + as I suppose the ap-pointments will be made when Col. Ames comes I rush to place in your hand whatever I have to suggest in the nature.
