Sir,

In consequence of my inability to find access to the Books and papers of the Reg't, which are now with it in the field, this History will [necessarily] be brief.
Hoping at some future and more convenient time, to be able give you a more like the account.
I remain
Very Respectfully
Your most ob't serv't
