P. and E. P. Hospital
Cahaba Ala[bama] Oct 20th 1864
Dr. L[evin] S[mith] Joynes:
D[ea]r Sir
On the 8th of last
month I made applicaiton to the Surg[eon]:
Gen[era]l for a transfer to Richmond
and prowarded it, with the aproval
of the Surgeon with whom I am serving
to the Medical Director; who has since
infromed me that he approved and
forwarded it to the Surgeon General.
I have heard nothing from it although
it has had ample time to have reach-
ed them and been returned. What is the
matter? Have you concluded not to
deliver lecutes this winter? Or has
the Surg[eon]: Gen[era]l decided not to grant
any transfers? If nothing of the kind
is the matter please see the Surgeon
General in my behalf, and do your
utmost for me and I will ever re-
main under many obligations.

Or has the Surg[eon]: Gen[era]l decided not to grant any transfers? If nothing of the kind is the matter please see the Surgeon General in my behalf, and do your utmost for me and I will ever re- main under many obligations. I have studied hard for the last two years in order to prepare my- self throughly for attending lectures this winter and I earnestly hope that I will not be disappointed. The last of the little wealth that I possessed has just been distoryed by the yank- ees in North Miss[issippi]; And I will have to fall back on my own individual exertions for a support after the war. I have shed my blood on more than one battle field in defense of the liberties we all in common hold dear, and I think is nothing more than jsutice to me, if compatible with the good of the service, that this favor be granted. Be so kind as to let me hear from you at your earliest convenience. Very Respectfully your obedient Serv[an]t W[ilson] A[lexander] Hurt Hospital Ste[ward] [Endorsement:] W.A. Hurt Hosp[ital] St[eward] Cahaba Ala[bama] Enquiring into the fate of his application for transfer |
