D.W.C. Gage Esq

             Dear Sir: Yours of August 25^th reached me by way of the Regiment yesterday

 

            I will see Capt. Darling immediately and will do everything in my power to get Glover a furlough. And it will afford me a great deal of pleasure if my efforts prove successful. It will be but a slight return for the many kindnesses you and Mrs Gage have shown my family during my absence & for which you will believe me truly grateful.

 

            Wishing to be remembered to Mrs Gage & family

 

I remain—

Your friend

B. M. Thompson
