Chief of Artillery, Military Division of the Mississippi:
GENERAL: I have the honor to request that you recommend Major T. W. Osborn, chief of artillery of this army, for two brevets. First, for gallantry and remarkable efficiency at Gettysburg, to be brevetted lieuenant-colonel. Second, for faithfulness and efficiency in the performance of his duties the Atlanta, the Savannah, and the Carolina campaign, to be brevetted colonel. I have constantly pressed his claim, and think some accident must have caused his case to be overlooked. Interested as you are in your own department I doubt not you will aid me in procuring Major Osborn's promotion.
