Dear Comrade: You have been recommended for appointment as Aide-de-Camp on the staff of the Commander-in-Chief, and it would afford him great pleasure to make the appointment. Owing to the financial condition of the organization it will require the greatest economy to keep its expenses within its income. The appointment of an Aide-de-Camp necessarily involves a considerable expense, viz: Cost of lithograph commission, a tube in which to mail it, postage on the same, printing announcement in General Orders, Aide-de-Camp badge, including rank strap and ribbon, and it has been adjudged necessary, both by the previous and present administration, to charge each appointee the sum of one dollar. If you desire the appointment send at once to Jere T. Dew, Aljutant General, Room 221 Government Building, Kansas City, Missouri, a postoffice money order or bank draft for one dollar, payable to Charles Burrows, Quartermaster General, Rutherford, N. J., and an Aide-de-Camp badge and commission will be sent to you and your appointment announced in General Orders. Failure to hear from you promptly, will be taken as a declination of the appointment. Yours in F. C. and L., By order of CHARLES G. BURTON, Commander-in-Chief. Dew Adjutant General.
