Parker, the Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry Regiment, writes to Colonel Vincent to relay a statement on the service of Eleazer L. Sarsons. Recounts Sarsons service, which included a time as a prisoner of war in Andersonville Prison, and his denied application for an appointment. Asks that Sergeant Sarsons be mustered back into a New Hampshire regiment as a 1st Lieutenant, asserting that "Sergeant Sarsons is a deserving soldier." Notes on the fourth page show the processing of the request: there is a description of the request, a note signed by Vincent indicating he referenced the request to the Commissary of Musters of the 10th Army Corps, a signed note from the Commissary of Musters indicating the request was complied with, and a signed note from Parker dated 9 September 1866 forwarding the document to Sarsons and instructing him to obtain three months extra pay. There are also some notations in pink ink made later.
