McLean Company ^12 Regiment^ wishes to have a passage to Union City to Join his Captain Mr Short has not been mustered into the service. though it is his intention to do so on arriving at Union City. He was absent from the role when the company left for the rendezvous I think it a fair case for a passport on the train & have therefore advised him that he will obtain it from you.

Yours &c
