W. E. Doster to Captain William Thompson Lusk, January 19, 1863

Washington, Jan. 19th, 1863.
My dear Lusk:

Yours was received this morning. I spread myself on the subject of unrequited merit accordingly and went in person to the War Department. Asst. Secy. Watson promised to let me have it to-morrow, but as you are impatient I write to-night. Of course it must receive the approbation of Stanton also, but altogether you have good reason to hope.

Very truly,
Meanwhile,
Doster.
