The friends of Mr Leigh Robinson C 1st Comp – y Howitzers request permission for him to spend Xmas with them in Richmond – His two brave brothers lie side by side in Hollywood Cemetery. Deeply sympathizing with him in his irreplacable loss, I should be glad to extend to him this indulgence. Should circumstances therefore permit & there be nothing to prevent it, if you will send up an application for a leave for a few days it will be granted.
