Quarter Masters Dept

Richmond Va Apl 22d 1863

 

Col A Myers QMG

Richmond Va
 
Having placed the Dept in my charge at Atlanta GA fully and successfully under way and having now served the country about two years I feel that I have probably done what should be required of me and as I have two important Railways the Nashville & Chattanooga and the Nashville & North Western RR Way companies in my charge I feel that if I can be spared by the Quarter Masters Dept that a higher duty calls me to the responsibilities of the RRoad Companies in these times of scarcity of all materials and labor necessary to their present location as they are mostly within the enemys lines.
   Therefore I must respectfully tender my resignation as Major and Quarter Master of C. S. A. to take effect on the 15th day of May next.
Most Respectfully
V. K. Stevenson
 
{on the back of the document}
