To

George P. Guerrier,

Q.M. General's Office,

8^th Division,

Washington, D.C.

 

My Dear Sir,

                 Should any vacancy in the Q.M. Dep^t come under your notice, perhaps you might forward my name for consideration.

 

                        Enclosed are a few approvals during my 3 years Service.

 

                        I was previously a Store or Book-Keeper, excepting 15 months, in different capacities, at the Big Falls &^c on the Washington Aqueduct, under M^r Talcott—one of General Meigs' Chief Engineers.

 

Very truly your friend

James Elmsby

2^nd Lieut. C^o G.
