here/ Lieut. Col. Alexander 47th P. Vols. / asks: is my Descriptive List. or a few lines from some person in authority, and then he will release me. A few lines from Yourself would be effective in setting me free. and I would ask you to do me the great favor to send me at least a few lines and enclose a note to Lieut. Col. Alexander to the effect that my Regt. has returned and that my term of enlistment has expired. That would be effectual, and render me indeed and truly
Your humble servant Thomas Belcher Company [? ] 2nd Maine Vols.
