33rd NC Regiment
Lane's Brigade Wilcox's Divis[ion]
Sept[ember] 24rd 1864
Dr. L.S. Joynes
Sir
please accept in the onset, an apology from me
for writing you on a business matter of my own-- waving further
conventionalities, I will say at once that I wish to attend the next
annual course of lectures in the Medical College of Virginia with
a view of becomming a candidate for a Diploma at the close of the
session. I took a course in the Jefferson Medical College Phil[adelphia],
the session of [18]54 and [185]5. I have been engaged in a regular practice since
that time, with the exception of the two last years. I have been acting
as Hospital Steward in the army. I hope I will not be asking
too much at your hands in requesting you to give me the necessary
information by return mail, to enable me to get a situation in
Richmond so that I can have the immunity to carry my above
mentioned design into affect.
Very Respectfully
your obt Servt
S[ly] D. Davis
