Dear Sir,
   My son having been thrown out of employ on the Piedmont R. R., on account of the insufficiency of labour to employ all the Engineering parties, I write to ascertain whether you can find him a situation in some of your Engineering parties now in the field. He understands the use of the Level, is industrious and of good moral  habits. Any thing you may do in his behalf will always be duly appreciated.
Yrs truly Sir
W. A. Kuper

Have you mentioned my wishes to Col. Gilmer about being employed?
