House of Representatives
Washington 12 Dec. 1867

Maj. Genl. O O Howard

My dear Sir:

I take great pleasure in recommending to your favorable consideration, the application of Capt. C G McLelland for a position in your Department.

Capt. McLelland lived for several years in my District, & is personally well known to me. He was an active Republican and is a very clever & estimable gentleman. I am not familiar with his military record but learn that he was a faithful soldier. I trust you will be able to give him a position

Truly yours
Wm H Korntz
