His Excellency
J. F. Robinson,
Sir,
I handed to Adj't General Finnell the reccommendation of nearly all the commissioned officers of the 4th Ky. infantry, for the promotion of Lieut. Robert T. Williams. I know him well, & I do not believe there is a more promising or capable officer in the regiment. He is young, robust, capable, alert and brave. He is peculiarly a man of military adaptation, and if opportunity were given I doubt not would distinguish himself. I commend him earnestly for any office not higher than Colonel.
Yr. obt.
Servt. Garrett Davis
Honble G. Davis
