Moore, reading, in part: "Fearing thatàthe press of businessàis daily crowding upon you in these exciting timesàyou might possibly forget the promises you so kindly madeàwhen you was about leaving our depot, for Montgomeryàthat you would return to Montgomery, use your influence with the Post Master General foràobtaining me the appointment of Mail Agent in the Confederate StatesàPost Office department. I writeàfor the purpose of refreshing your memoryàon the subject of my appointment, giving me your opinion as to my chance for successàyour friend, L. G. Drake." Overall near fine.
