Head Quarters Dept. of the Ohio - Sept 30th 1865 -

General O O Howard
Chief of Freedmans Bureau

Dr. Sir

Col S H Lathrop has served as Inspector General of this Department under several commanders - lately, under myself, with ability and advantage to the government, his experience on the frontiers, and his excellent judgement render him well qualified for the position of inspector, especially in the Freedmans Bureau where practical men are required -  I would not recommend him if I did not think he could do you good service -

Yours truly and
E.O. Cord,
U Genl Comd
