Hon and Dear Sir

I thank you kindly for your list-- As Lt. Col is full of engagements I have drawn up a request and sent it in my own hand. He has seen it: [ ] accepts, or signs as also does Capt Roberts. I have the assurance of Dea's Sale, Wheelright, and others that it will all be right with the Col. I have hurried the matter in order to get my Commission by tomorrow night if possible. Please send tomorrow (Tuesday) to the Care of R.[or C.?] F. [Den- ver?] Bangor-- Shall I need a pass on the [?], or do I as a matter of course pay my own fare? Bangor Aug 25th/62 Very truly yours A.
