Dear Colonel
When I had the honor to
answer your last letter, I did not
think to be so short of money.
Now I take the liberty to avoid
myself of your very kind offer, by
asking you to advance me fifty
dollars ($50.)
In hopes of receiving soon
your orders, I remain, Sir, with
great respect
Your Lt. Srgt.
