Hd. Qrs 1st Div. 14th A. C.
Dec 6th 1863.
Gov.

Permit me to recommend to you Lt. Col. Gwynne of the 4th Ky Cavalry as a suitable person for the Colonelcy of the 5th Ky. Cav, made vacant by the death of its former Col. (Sanders).

Lt. Col. Gwynne by his faithful and gallant services has clearly shown himself worthy and qualified for the position and I hope he may be commissioned.

I am satisfied that his promotion would give satisfaction to the 5th and greatly add to its efficiency.

Yours very truly
R W Johnson
