Lieutenant-Colonel Treat has been with me since I took command of the Army of the Ohio; was for the greater part of the time acting chief commissary of subsistence of the army in the field, and performed the duties of his office with a fidelity, zeal, and efficiency that eminently entitle him to promotion.
