Stanford Ky, June 1. 1863.

 Monday noon

 

My Own Dear Jen,

                                    I came up from Court Martial this noon for dinner. we are going to have another sitting this P.M.

 

            I found my resignation returned respectfully referring me to an article of war. So I looked at the article, wrote another one, have got it through the Regt. Hd. Qts. & Brigade Hd. Qts. Jen you must not expect me at all, as it is very uncertain indeed, as it now has to be approved at Division, Corps & Department Hd. Qts. at any of them they can stop it. dont say nary a word to anyone as it is so uncertain. 

 

            I have not time to write a letter as it is now already time to go to Court, so you need not call this a letter but just a word, to remind my dear that I am always thinking of her.

 

            Jen if I get away from here & if you dont disapprove of it, I think I will offer my valuable services to go into Cavelry, that is after being at home a few months. well it will be time enough to talk about that when I get there. with all my love

 

                        I am as ever

                                    your Aff Hus

                                                Nat—
