Text of Resignation Letter:

Camp Little Rock
April 4 1863


Lt. Col. S.S. Anderson
	A. A. Genl
		Dept. of Ark

Sir:
	I beg to tender the Lt. Genl Comdg my immediate and unconditional 
Resignation as 1st Lt. Compy “E’ Caldwells Reg Mo Inftry.

My reasons for this are that my health is now and has for the last three months 
been in such a condition as to render me entirely unable to discharge the duties 
of my of office.  I have, besides, been so unfortunate as to lose a finger from 
each of my hands, one of which was shot off at the Battle of Prairie Grove and 
the effect of the wound has been to render my hand almost entirely useless.  
Having despaired of being useful in my present position again soon, and being 
unwilling to encumber the service longer, I therefore trust that my Resignation 
will be immediately accepted.

		I am
		    Sir
		Very Respectfully
			Your obdt Svt
				N,, H, Moore
			Ist Lt. Compy “E” Caldwells Reg.


I certify that I have carefully examined this officer, Lt. N.H. Moore of Capt. 
Harners Co. “E” Caldwells Mo. Reg. and find him incapable of performing his 
duties because of the loss of a finger on each hand: also annisarea or dropsy of 
the legs, the result of fever in Jany 1863, and consequently recommend an 
acceptance of his Resignation.
April 4 1863					John T. Bradley Surg.
