Washington D.C.
Aug 6th 1866.

Hon. E.M. Stanton
Secy of War

Sir,
I take pleasure in recommending J W Hannay late Lieut 8th USCA (Hy), who is desirous of obtaining a commission in the US Army. Lieut Hannay was in my regiment from March 1865 until April 1866. I can say that he was a good officer and soldier; and was always ready to do his duty. In my opinion Lieut Hannay is an ex-officer who deserves well of the country and is in everything worthy of an appointment

Resply your obdt Servant
