Colonel Livermore asks Senator Lodge to help him secure a recently vacated brigadier general position as he would like to work at the Army War College. If this is not possible Livermore would like to be retired as a brigadier general, which he feels is appropriate considering his military record. Many in his 1866 class at West Point were not afforded the same promotions as those that came after them and have already retired.
