W. A. Dudley Esq
Quarter Master General
Dear Sir

Your letter of the 27th inst., tendering your resignation of the office of Quarter Master General of the State, to take effect on the 1^st proximo, has been received.

I regret the causes which have impelled you to this step, and more especially that which refers to your enfeebled state of health. The fidelty and ability with which you have discharged the duties of the position from which you now, voluntarily, propose to retire, have~~[...]~~ been such as to command my most hearty approbation; and I do not hesitate to say that, in your withdrawal from it, the State loses the services of a competent, faithful and reliable officer.

In accepting your resignation, for the causes which you have assigned, I beg to reciprocate your expressions of kindness, and to wish you a speedy restoration of your accustomed health and vigor.

I am very truly yours
J. F. Robinson
