Summary
Discusses the excess amount of officers in the military, which means that many who hope for jobs with the new government will be disappointed. Remarks that he realizes that many men, especially on the frontiers, will be counting on Knox for employment. Respectfully requests that Knox nominate him as an inspector, if there are still positions available, adding that he would not have done so if General [Henry] Jackson had not encouraged him.
