1114 LOUISIANA AND THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI. [CHAP. LX.
HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF TIIE MISSOURI,
Saint Louis, Mo., March 7, 1865.
Lieutenant-General GRANT,
City Point, Va.:
Will you please try and have Lieut. Col. Fred. Myers, assistant
quartermaster, nominated for brevet brigadier-general in the regular
Army before adjournment? For his services in Virginia and elsewhere,
see my letter to you, dated some time in December.
JNO. POPE,
Major- General.
CITY POINT, VA., March 7, 1865.
Maj. Gen. JOHN POPE,
Commanding Military Division of the Missouri:
Your dispatch of this date in relation to securing for Col. F. Myers
promotion by brevet to the rank of brigadier-general in the regular
Army is received. I received also your letter of last December on the
same subject. My recollection is that I answered your letter stating
that recommendations for promotions by brevet or otherwise must come
from officers under whom the recipient of such promotion has served,
and either go to the Adjutant-General of the Army direct, or if it is
desirable to have my recommendation, then to me for indorsement.
The number of applications I receive to secure promotion for officers
makes it necessary for me to adhere to this rule for all officers except
those who have served immediately under me. I will be very happy to
affix my approval to your recommendation of Colonel Myers' promotion.
It will possibly be too late now to secure his confirmation this extra
session of the Senate, but his appointment can be made and held over
to be acted on when Congress does meet.
U. S. GRANT,
Lieutenant- General.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSOURI,
Saint Louis, March 7, 1865.
Maj. Gen. JOHN POPE:
From the report of scouts and letter I have received, I have no doubt
Camden, Ark., has been evacuated by the rebels and their troops moved
south of Red River.
G. M. DODGE,
Major- General.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 7, 1865.
(Received 3.30 p. m.)
Major-General POPE,
Commanding Military Division of the Missouri:
Will issue law and order proclamation to-morrow.
THOS. C. FLETCHER.
