Sir

Owing to very bad health I have been absent for some time and there being no other commissioned officer in the company (Co D) which I have the honor to command on my return I find that the men have become dissati^s^fied scattered and gone—Where I know not—and believing that I never will be able to collect them again & that I can be of no service to the State with the remnant that is left me I beg leave most respectfully to tender you my resignation of the office of Lieutenant Comdg the company

Respectfully &c
