Dear Governor:
I have been doing all in my power to get the boys who deserted the Army to return to the Camp.
And I am writing this in the interest of D. E. Pitman, who left Camp Jackson some time ago. He says that he now wants to return to Camp and wants you to write a letter in his behalf. He would have gone back just after your visit to this county but he has been sick and is still sick but will go back to the Camp just as soon as he gets able.
He says the reason he left camp was that he was engaged to be married and he was determined to fulfil his engagement.
Mr. Pitman is of a good family and is a good boy and I would like to see him go back and get off with just as light punishment as possible.
If you will write him a letter do so and send to him at Frank, N.C. or to me.
Yours truly
