Dear Sir,
     I received your letter this morning, and also one from your Father in regard to the appointment of your Brother, as one of my staff.  The situation in which I have been placed by the unfortunate condition of our country, is entirely new to me,    I am not satisfied what power I possess in the appointment of my staff.  I have written to Major J. F. Hunt for information; and expect an answer in a few days,  when that information comes to hand, I will then learn what power I have, and I will cheerfully attend to the wishes of you and Father,  I am with feeling of the highest regard         Yours most respectfully
                             AC Moore, Col
                              Con.dr  Va  Va
PS
Your Father wishes an immediate answer.  I hope you will give him this letter in which will be a reply for him.
