Headquarters, District of Alabama, Montgomery, Ala., September 17, 1866 Bvt. Maj. Gen'l. E. D. Townsend Assistant Adjutant General Washington D.C. General Some time before the close of the last session, I asked that the brevet rank of Lieut. Colonel might be conferred on Surgeon Chas. J. Kipp, U.S. Vols., and was advised in reply that the appointment had been made. Since that time neither Dr. Kipp nor I have heard definitely from it. Will you have the goodness to endorse upon this, whether or not it was sent in and confirmed? Very respectfully, Your obedient servant Wager Swayne Maj. Gen. Vols.
