Head Quarters Newburg Decr 10. /82

Sir

I have received your Letter of the 30th November requesting leave to resign your Commission.

I am always sorry to see those officers quit the Army whose abilities may do credit to themselves and to the Service, but the reasons you give are such that I cannot refuse your request. I am Sir.
