The case of Captain Dodt in my official report, and there recommended him for promotion. I have never seen a better staff officer in action.

The case of Captain Geddis and Hueston, and the action of other officers so far as relates to the 31st of March, is stated by me upon representation of my staff and the general opinion throughout the brigade, as I was not placed in command until April 2.
