New York
Maj. Gen. O.O. Howard
Dear Sir,
Your letter of the 10th, in answer to my inquiry after the late Capt. Dessauer, is received, for which you will please accept my thanks. I have already written to Lt. Col. Asmussen in relation to his effects. If you wish to keep his horse you will please send the value of it to my daughter, Mrs. Dessauer […] or to me.
Very respectfully yours, G.L. Kraft
