One of my new recruits turns out [non-confs?] - I
have made out papers for his discharge - & shall write
a letter to the Selectors who enlisted him [giving?] my
mind - it is a shame - & he should not be credited
on their quota - I think I shall apply to
Washburn to that effect.

That [?] I sent Mary is a genius I
tell you - the picture is good - but dont expres
his character - I sent the same to Miss [Bugble?]
much to her amusement -
