Besides, I have a plan, which I now need not stop to delineate - respecting a College in some Southern state, if this war ever closes favorably, which increases my anxiety to help close up this terriable fratricidal conflict, & honor God & my country. It occurred to me that doubtly, <hr /> some new Regt. - Cav or Inft. - would be formed. & in Commissioning a Col. you would commission me chaplain - if the appointment comes directly from you - & if does not, your suggestion would be sufficient. Or in any other way, in any other position favorable for this kind of benevolent work, if you could I should like it much. I feel anxious to enter the field. Can you not soon get or give me a commission. If a Regt. is forming any where, just give me a commission, & I will help form it. - a matter in which I have considerable personal experience. Pardon this intrusion, if any thing turns up to my account, please let me know as soon as possible. otherwise this Note will require no answer. Your obedient servant, D.H. Blake pastor 1st Cong.

I came into the Army in the ranks about one year and a half since, went through the Campaign against this place & after it surrendered I was detailed by Genl Grant and assigned to "Hd qrs. 17th Army Corps" where I am now on duty as a clerk. I think I have some claims which ought not to be overlooked. In the first place, I served in the Indian War in Oregon & Washington Territories <hr /> in '55 & '56, in which service I held the ranks of lst Luit & Maj, and I think I can say discharged my duties to the satisfaction of any superiors. I was in that service two years, for which I have now received half enough to pay my expenses during the time I was in actual service. Besides, I purchased evidences of indebtedness on account of that war to the amount of several thousand dollars, after they had been audited by a Commission appointed by the Government for that purpose. The matter rested in that shape for five years and then the 3rd Auditor repudiated the debt, I thereby losing all I had invested in that enterprise and two years of my time which was of some value to me in that Country <hr /> at that time. If you wish any vouchers as to my qualifications and Capabilities I can give them to you from Officers high in Command from Illinois where I resided before the war. I know that you cannot answer all the appeals made to you, but I lost all the means I had by serving the Government, and I feel that it is hard that I should serve a three year's term without rank or pay.
