Office of the Provost Marshal General
                     District
        DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSOURI.
                           St. Louis               July 12th         1862 

Colonel,
                      I am informed that John Sexton
a citizen of St Louis who is now in the south
is desirous of returning to his home and his
allegiance, a number of our friends here think
it would be well to permit him to do so, my
impression is that it would be decidely
well to allow him to come to St Louis on
his parole to report to the Comdg officer
of the District or  to this office to be released
on taking the oath and giving bond, or on
such terms and may be agreed upon.
                  I am very Respectfully
                              your obt Servt
                              Tho C Fletcher
