Sir.

If you will, Sir, it so that I can get out of here I will work at any Government work that I can or do any thing for the Government except volunteer to be a soldier, please do all you can for me, I belong to Company "C. 9th Divisions Please let me know what you can do for me at your earliest convenience.
