Sir
I hereby tender my resignation as Capt. Co F 37th Va Inftry for the following reason

I am a member of the General Assembly of Virginia the duties of which position require my time to such an extent that I feel I am doing great injustice to my junior officers if not to the service in longer retaining both positions.
                                                 I am Very Respectfully
                                                            Your Obt Servt
                                                            Geo Graham
