Orders, No, 145, current series, herewith inclosed,* I have found it absolutelly necessary for the interests of the service to assign Bvt. Brigadier General Stewart L. Woodford to a command according to his brevet rank, subject to the approval of the Presidnet. I have the honor to request that my action in this matter be approved or disapproved; that I be notified of it with as little delay as practicable. Troops are now arriving here from the North commanded by general officers, which will render it unnecessary from me to deprive myself, except for a short time, of the services of General Woodford as chief of staff.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Q. A. GILLMORE,
Major-General, Commanding.
