engineer; Lieutenant Pepoon, provost-marshal; Captain Hodgdon, commissary; Lieutenant Dean, controlling ambulances, and Lieutenant Conyers, commanding provost guards--I can most truthfully say that every member of it has so demeaned himself as to merit promotion. Brave, faithful, and efficient, they are an honor to the positions they hold.

Respectfully,

WALTER C. WHITAKER,

Brigadier-General, Second Brigade, First Division, Fourth Corps, Army of Cumberland.
