N2  - ALS (1862 March 22) from Ashby to Captain Hugh M. Nelson, Confederate 6th Virginia Cavalry Regiment, requesting a discharge for her son, George Ashby.  Ashby indicates that she is dissatisfied with George's pay and wants him discharged because he is unwell.  Includes a signed rebuttal letter, also addressed to Nelson and dated March 22, 1862, from James Bartlett, the individual who hired George to serve as his substitute.  Bartlett defends the legality of his agreement, which he states was made with Malvina Ashby, rather than George, in front of witnesses
