            Louisville Ky

                                    Col.

                                    I have the honor to transmit here with my Appointment as 1^st Lieut. Muster in Roll and final Discharge from Service also Order putting me on duty March 17^th 65 at Dept Hd. Qrs. I was on duty as an Officer prior to the 1^st of March 65 but the records of the Regt were lost so they did not show the time of entering upon duty of any of the first Officers. I entered upon duty about the day of the date of my Appointment. Gen^l Thomas was in Louisville at or before that time and told me to go and report to the Regt / and he would send my appointment to me I went on duty and the Genl went directly to Natchez Miss & sent my appointment from there and I recd it before the 1^st of March 65 and had been on duty some little time when I recd it.

 

            When mustered out as a private of Co "H" 11^th N.H.V. I did not get a discharge as the M.O. told me it was not necessary & so I send you my muster in Roll get Col. Armstrongs certificate as to the time I entered on duty & think you can get Capt Corbetts also.

 

            Please let me hear from upon the receipt of this.

                                                                                    I am very Resptfy

                                                                                    Your Obt. Servt

                                                                                    Nat S Wheeler

his Bounty yet—
