| General, |
| In the early part of last year I had the
??? to address you in behalf of my Davies who desires an appointment in
the Engineer Troops. He received the appointment of Lieut 2nd and he
served 6 months. At the present time Lieut Davies is with me on detached
service. He informs me that he will make application for promotion to a
Captaincy. I believe that, if promoted, he will fill the post of Captain
efficiently with credit to himself and to the service. I feel the utmost
confidence in recommending this application to your favorable
consideration. |
