Dear Sir,
I have been favored with your private letter of the 10th inst and thank you for the same. Continue your inquiries, whenever it can be done with propriety. It may, untimately be of moment.
I hope the recruiting service goes on with flattering prospects. My best respects to General White, and Mr. Bray.
