Sir,
   I write to recommend for promotion Capt J L Sehon who entered the service of Tennessee as Majr in that states service and was employed in my immediate office. When the Confederate government action made him Captain a grade lower. Since this time the Revd Dr Sehon his father who was so punished by the F. Genl at Nashville has lost all of his property Capt Sehon has lost his and has a family which he cannot support out of his pay and therefore he asks for promotion as his pay will not support and he has nothing else.
   Capt Sehon is as deserving an officer as there is in the army he is most capable willing attentive and faithful. Therefore I take much pleasure in recommending his promotion.
Most Truly
V. K. Stevenson QM
 
I respectfully submit Capt Sehon's name to Hon Sec of War for the appointment of Major in the Q M Dept
