G.P. Sewall,
for Sergt. Staples
1st Lieut. Co."K". 2 Reg.

Thursday 04 Feb

My dear Sir,

I have several names
asking the appointment of Dan'l
Staples to the place of a Lieut.
given him before any vacancy
existed.    [?] Lieut. of 
Co. K 2nd Maine  I understand
has resigned and Staples I
think is a sargeant in that 
Co.   The paper I hear is
signed by Gen'l Jameson & I
believe by the officer / Col etc
of the Reg't.  If no one has been
fixed on for the place, shall
I present this paper for your
consideration?

Yours truly
Sewall

To his Excellency
