Gov Robinson, Dear Sir, Capt. O. L. Baldwin, I am informed, wishes an appointment as Major. All who know him bear testimony that he is a most brave and accomplished officer. He has had much and perilous experience, and he is one of the very finest writers in the army. For the good of the service I earnestly wish him success in his application.
Very Truly Yours,
Geo. D. Prentice.
Capt Baldwin
