158 By way of comment, I have to say that all of the above named officers are confidently believed to be temperate, faithful, thoroughly honest and possessed of that degree of intelligence and gentlemanly bearing due to the service from the positions to which they are severally recommended. Capt. Whiting is made the subject of special mention in view of the fact he has lost his left arm in the service. Bvt Maj C W Pierce has won special commendation both for fidelity and capacity, before and during his connection with the Bureau. He is in every way considered eligible to an appointment as Captain, but as his experience and desires point to the Quartermasters Department he is presented for either. The same may be truly said of Lieutenant Browning, who has served under my personal inspection. Very Respectfully, Your Obdt Servant, Wager Swayne Maj. Genl. & Asst Commr.
