pray you to tender my most respectful homage to your lady
sanction the appointment with rank
experience in that duty
well calculated & qualified for the discharge of it as any man I have ever known
highest proof of his good conduct
want of discipline in the army
lose the opportunity to mention to you my opinion
in case of future operations on a scale which may justify the appointment
public service will be benefitted greatly should Col. Sargent be continued in the office of adjutant general
