Dear Sir,
</p>

<p corresp='TTP35093809P1' xml:id='OTP35093809P1'>Should Major Moreau be broken by court martial the appointment of my friend Geo. Womack in his place would greatly gratify me. I know Mr Womack well and know him to be a high toned gentleman and that he would make a good officer. He aided me in raising my old fraction of a Regiment and would have been the Lt. Colonel <unclear>but</unclear> the consolidation prevented it. Thinking <hi rend='str'>the good of</hi> the good of the State required it he cherfully gave way. Take his claim into consideration and if you can commission him you would confer a great favor upon
