Acd[?] [written in upper left corner]

      Brunswick Nov. 11th 1865

My dear Genl.

                    Your favor in 

regard to my military history shall be forwarded in a day or two. I have never had time to make this out, as already requested from the Adjt. Genls office in Washington. But I will do so for you, [word underlined] at once.

     John S. C. Abbott has written 

me several times for my history to make an article in his Series of "Heroic Men"! I couldn't have the face to do that, & can scarcely bring myself to brag to you of my own doings. I will send such official mentions as have been made in regard to my career, with a little elucidation now and then.
