Title
Officers Qualifed for the Department of the Inspectorship or the Quartermaster
Description
Circular to the Commandants of Regiments: "I request the favor of your opinion as to such of the majors, captains, and lieutenants of your regiment as may be best qualified for service in the department of the Inspectorship or of the Quartermaster. This is an inquiry for information which will be extended to the several regiments. It is hoped that the opinion will be given with freedom and frankness as it may be relied upon that it will be received in perfect confidence. It will be understood that it is altogether eventual and uncertain whether any appointment of either sort will be made from the regiment."
