Sir.
In answer to your verbal inquiry.
I transmit a report from the Adjutant General,
which states the facts and principles upon which
the date of your promotion was definitively fixed.
On an examination of the circumstances, I
coincide in the view taken by the Adjutant General.
Very Respectfully
Your Ob Serv
