Head-Quarters, Department North-West,
Milwaukee June 10 1865.

General

Captain Hinton is one of the early, continuous, and most faithful of our friends to the Coloured race

He has written and labored more for them than any man in Kansas.

He is an able and fervent writer for the press and would be very useful in your department He has served most gallantly in the staff of General Blank and on my staff. He is an Englishman by birth but an old citizen of Kansas and a participant in the long continued struggle against the spread of slavery in that state.

He is now serving on my staff but is anxious to get into a more active post connected with the race which he has so long now earnestly sought to advance.

With my ardent & best wishes for your success in your present duties, I remain General 
Your friend & obt Sevt
