[Another letter in the series over who would be commissary of the 19th Virginia Regiment. See other letters of this date as well as July 3, 5, and 8]
Dear Mallory
Enclosed find letter from R. G. Bailey
which I desire you to shew both Cols[Philip St. George] Cocke &
[John Bowie] Strange, and to communicate to them
my determiniation not to accept the office
of Commissary--I think to accept
under the Circumstances would be
doing myself as well as all others
concerned gross injustice--
I had hoped to be with you
soon permanently, but the Fates are
against me--I shall visit you
however occcasionally under any
Circumstances--Excuse this
hasty note & believe me
Very Truly
W. J. Fretwell
