Dear Sir
Since you Kindly confer upon me the appointment of Brigade Inspector the legislature has changed the law and I think implicitly repealed your authority to appoint a Brigade Inspector
To save any question of this kind I have not heretofore qualified as Inspector and now tender your my resignation
Yours Truly
Jno W. Barr
