I have been anxiously waiting the result of my application, while at the same time I religiously hope it will not (eventually) prove unavailing. Ill health and the exigence of my circumstances constrains me to, earnestly, solicit your attention to my business and give as early a return to this place as the business of your office will admit, as my necessity for relief is pressing (indeed). — — — — —
