G. M. Mosely Dec^r 24^th 1861

by order of Brig^d Genl Jas. L. Alcorn, an Election was held in Company Quarters to fill Said Vacan=cy, which resulted in the election of Isaac R. Snoddy as First Lieut'' and James, M. Glenn as Third Lieut" and from Some cause un=known to myself they yet remain without commissions—if you have not yet done so you will confer a favor upon myself and these Officers by forwarding to this place their Commissions immediately

Respectfully your Obt Sv't.
