Professor J.B. M'[c]Caw MD

Dear Sir
Having acted
under you last winter as Hospital Steward or
ward master of "F" 3rd Division and having also
attended your lectures at the Medical College
I would most respectfully request that you
procure a transfer for me the coming winter
for the above mentioned duty, or some other
if possible in your Hospital.
I am very anxious to prosecute my studies
in the medical school and the above method
is the only one by which I will be enabled to
do so. I attended lectures last winter
and think that by due dillegence I will be
enabled to graduate if I can attend for another
session.
Hoping that you will do all you can
in my behalf, for which I will be under
many obligations to you I am Doctor.
Most Respectfully Yr obt Servt.
A[mos] L. McCanless
