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.
