Brookesville Missi July 23^rd 1862

Hon J. J. Pettus

Dear Sir.

Will you please be so kind as to inform me with whom the power of appointing "Instructors" for Conscripts rest^d I under-stand. that 2 camps are to be established in miss.—and I should like to secure an appointment. I was for three years a student of the Military Institute at Marietta Georgia, and connected myself with the first volunteer Company from this county. I served for 14 months in the 11^th Miss Regt under Col^s Moore & Liddell, and most cheerfully refer you to them for any information in reference to myself—also—to the Hon J. T. Harrison, L Harrison, J. D. Brooke & the Hon Israel Welsh. I was wounded in the battle of the 31^st of May. near Richmond, which with other disabilities render me unfit for active mil-itary service.

By letting me hear from you at an early day,—You will much oblige

Your obdt Servt

If these Commissions have all been conferred, would like very much to secure a position as clerk in the Quartermaster or Commissary Office.

Yours
