Request for furlough
Chaffin's Farm, 20th Sept., (18)63
Capt,
I have the honor to apply for a leave of absence for Fifteen (15) days to visit my home in Montgomery Co., Va in consideration of the unsettled state of my pecuniary affairs at Home. They are in such a condition as to Demand my immediate and personal supervision, without which the loss of my property is involved. My second and most important reason for requesting this leave is in view of the lonely and almost helpless condition of my widowed and aged mother; which is peculiarly painful to me and anything but comfortable and Desirable to her. The War has taken from her five sons and left but one, who on account of his age and infirmities, is unable to render her any assistance whatsoever. Her sole support is in him-and knowing his helplessness I feel it my Duty as a son, and it is my earnest Desire to make some provision for her comfort and welfare before the Winter sets in with its severities and sufferings.- Again my company is small, and all of the officers are present and I think that I could be spared without Detriment to the service-and it is my opinion that I could collect some Deserters from my command. Should you see proper to grant me this indulgence I will be under lasting obligations to you and promise in no case to abuse it by remaining over the prescribed limits.
With much respect I am Captain
Your most Ob't serv't
