Sir,

Will you be kind enough to send written word by bearer what day you can make it convenient to be here to muster us out and also send sufficient muster out rolls, so that we can fill them up and have them ready for you. Thus avoiding further delay.

Very Respectfully,
Your obedient servant

Major,

The orders copied within were not received by me until I was put on duty here. I immediately informed Major Copeland that it would be impossible for me to perform the duty and have since instructed him to the same effort. This letter I have just received and send it for your information.

Respectfully,

E. G. Beckwith
