Col John M. Oliver
Dear Sir
I have your
letter enclosing list for Commissions
which I send to the Adjutant
General with directions to issue
the Commissions as you desire
& send them to you. I am
well pleased with your manage-
ment of the 15
th Regiment &
shall always be glad to cooperate
with you to promote the interests
of the regiment & its officers.
Capt. Lackwood certainly
deceives himself I told
him so plainly. When I came
to see him my mind was clear
about it. No doubt he is
[ ? ]
disappointed but it the necessity
fully justifies it.
You will soon have
an opportunity to
[ ? ]
with the enemy. God shield
you in the fight
Your Obdt Servt
Austin Blair
