Commandant of Conscripts, Enterprise, Miss.:

My DEAR Sir: I have received your letter of September 29, and found pleasure in complying with the request which it conveyed by assigning you to duty as commandant of conscripts for the State of Mississippi as well as of the camp at Enterprise. You need no assurance of my friendly interest in you, and I trust that the country will receive from your energy and zeal in this new position all the benefits which your past services entitle us to expect.

Very respectfully and truly, yours,
