Lexington Ky,
Lt. Colonel James Bramlette
Dear Sir
I had no chance for delivering your kind letter to the Governor, your honored father, in person, I therefore sent it to-day by mail. I trust you will lend me your influence in securing for me that complimentary Commission, you had the kindness to promise me. — You know very well, that I do not apply for any matarial advantage; all I want is a paper entiteling me to the title of Colonel after my return home. — I intend to leave for Europe as soon as I can get my honorable discharge and have spent a few weeks in Washington and New York. You would therefore confer a graet favor upon me by attending to the matter as soon as convenient.
I expect a line from you in regard to this application at the Phoenix hotel Lexington.
Yours very truly
Fr: de Tavernier
Should you think my personal appearance necessary please advise me of it and shall comply with your request.
Col. Aid to
[Governor]
