General
I have received your letter
of the 21st July.
I regret that I cannot comply
with your request to be assigned to a
command in this Army, without, by
so doing, committing injustice to compe-
tent and worthy Officers who by long
service in the Army deserve what ad-
vancement the accidents of the service
may give them.
I am General
Very Respectfully
Yr. obt. svt.
