General- Allow me to recommend to your favorable consideration for the position of Captain in the Veteran Reserve of Corps, Capt. Edward Miller. Capt Miller was a Lieut in the Regiment I had the honor to command in the field (the 38th N.Y.) and acquitted himself nobly. He lost his left arm in the Service. Should his appointment be made I would respectfully ask his assignment to my Regiment, as I am in need to good Captains. Very Respectfully Your Obed't Servant (Signed) James C. Strong.
