My dear Son
I send to day
Augustus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11
application fearing you may not
find the other –There
was a letter with
directions with that to
your father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
which I put with the application—
Of course I have no
such letter but I copy
what I think was its
substance from a letter
requesting me to make
some alteration in it—
“The proper way would
be to file the Application
anduse such means as
would obtain a promise
of my appointment to
the first vacancy afterword
a promise from the
President
Birth: 1809-02-12 Death: 1865-04-15
& Sec. of War
Birth: 1814-12-19 Death: 1869-12-24
The Application is made
to the Adjutant General
Birth: 1804-10-26 Death: 1875-03-02
because it is the rule
of the service, though
he does not make
the Appointment—”_
Frederick—
