Title
Regarding Substitute Officer Appointments for 10th Infantry & 1st Regiment of Artillerists & Engineers
Description
Notifies Adams of Hamilton's recommendation of a man for a lieutenancy in the 1st Regiment of Artillerists and Engineers, the original appointee having declined. Mentions another declined office in the 10th Infantry Regiment, and asks for authority to appoint for this office directly, as time is short -- a large portion of that regiment is already assembling at its rendezvous.
