tain Ssngster has occupied standing as gentle-
man unimpeached in all the private walks of life,
and is connected in marriage, in this county, in one
of the most respectable families of the State. As
an officer and soldier | have no doubt you are as
well acquainted with the character of Capt Sangster
as am, and as fully appreciate his worth. You
will find that he has had the singular good fortune
to attract the attention and rive the good opinion
of every distinguished officer with whom he was
associated in the late war. l hope, therefore, my
dear sir that you akng into consideration our long
acquointance) will not consider me presumptuous
in thus manfesing my strong feelings for the sue
cess of Capt. Sangster; and | must say, not so
much on the score of personal considerations as for
the distinguished services which he has rendered TO
our common country. 1t is small boon which he
asks, but it is which he will highly esteem be-
cause it will be evidence of the confidence of his
native State.
In making this strong appeal, | know make it to
one who has heart more sensible to the sentiments
which 1t involves than my own; therefore, ! ask
your services in his behalf.
