I am directed by the Governor to say to you
that some weeks ago you were commissioned Lieut

Genl Lee's Head quarters it was discovered that your
commission had not been forwarded to you, your

When your resignation as Col of 12th Reg V[irginia] M[ilitia] was
accepted to allow you to accept the captaincy of a volun
teer company, it was not known or recollected by the
writer that your nomination had been ratified.

letter at least, to Gen Lee I am very respy
