Davis, aide-de-camp; Captain Henry H. Wilson, aide-de-camp; Captain William T. Forbes, acting assistant inspector-general; Captain Moses Veale, assistant commissary of musters. I also beg to mention the eminent degree of energy and efficiency manifested in their respective departments during the campaign by Surg. John E. Herbst, surgeon-in-chief; Captain Gilbert M. Elliott, ordnance officer; Captain G. L. Parker, assistant quartermaster, and Captain James Gillette, commissary of subsistence. The duties of Surgeon Herbst and Captain G. M. Elliott upon the field at Gettysburg called them frequently under my observation, and I feel gratified in commending them as accomplishing their responsible tasks in a masterly and energetic manner.
