N. York Oct. 22d. ‘99

Sir,

I have just received a letter from the Paymaster General inclosing one from Lt. Wm. C. Rogers declining the appointment of Pay master to the Cavalry. I would I have therefore the honor to propose that Lt. Simmon⟨s⟩ may be appointed in his place—

With great respect &c—

Secy. of War
