Philada Aug 8th 1863 His Excellency Richard Yates Sir. Will you do me the great favor to send me a recommendation for a commission in the Invalid Corps. I have delayed it so long that Pennsylvania's quota of Officers is very nearly filled up, and it cannot be brought unless immense pressure is brought to bear. You know I was wounded in the left knee and crippled around about five months and then resigned being almost ashamed to receive Govmt pay without rendering an equivalent service, and then I was taken with bronchitis which has incapacitated me from performing the duties of Clerk in the Arsenal at this City – a position which I now <hr /> hold and endeavor to fill to the best of my ability. I have the recommendations of my Regmtl, Brigade, & Division Commanders, have passed the examination of the Board of Enrollment in my District, I expect to get four out of five of the congressmen in my County, which along with Gov Curtin's & Hon I Cameron's influence I expect to be able to make the wind blow I served as Capt of Co F 72d Regmt P.V. twenty two months and was in all the battles with McClellan from Ball's Bluff (through the Peninsula) to Antietam and now that I am unable to make a livelihood from wounds and disease. I desire some active (light) service (as my Doctor prescribes) to see if I cannot regain strength and health. You will therefore confer a great favor on me (which <hr /> I will endeavor to reciprocate) by sending me a recommendation directed to Col James B Fry Provost Marshal Genl so that I may send it along with my papers to Washington.
