CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.-UNION.
has been long and favorably known to me as a faithful and energetic
officer, and is in every respect competent. I desire his appointment
that he may be assigned to duty with the chief of artillery at these
headquarters, to take charge of the business of that office. There
have lately occurred the following vacancies in the adjutant general's
department at these headquarters: Capt. Wimer Bedford, resigned;
Capt. J. H. Munroe, resigned; Capt. A. P. Gilbert, resigned. I request
that his appointment be made to fill either of these vacancies.
Very respectfully,
O. O. HOWARD,
Major-General.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE,

Maj. Gen. W. F. BARRY,'
Chief of Artillery, Military Division of the Mississippi:
GENERAL: I have the honor to request that you recommend Maj. T.
W. Osborn, chief of artillery of this army, for two brevets. First, for
gallantry and remarkable efficiency at Gettysburg, to be brevetted
lieutenant-colonel. Second, for faithfulness and efficiency in the per-
formance of his duties during the Atlanta, the Savannah, and the Caro-
lina campaigns, to be brevetted colonel. I have constantly pressed his
claim, and think some accident must have caused his case to be over-
looked. Interested as you are in your own department I doubt not
you will aid me in procuring Major Osborn's promotion.
Respectfully,
O. O. HOWARD,
Major-General.
