Brig Genl James B. Fry.

Washington D.C.

General,
Allow me to commend to you for an appointment in the reserve corps, Mr. Edward Miller late Captain of Co. I. 38th Regt. New. York. Vols.

At battle of Fredericksburg Decr. 1862 with only one arm, he escaped from his captors and on his return captured and brought to me five rebel prisoners whom he had found on his way.

His character and services entitle him to great attentions on your part.

Very Respectfully
(Signed) D.B. Birney
Maj: Genl.
