Major-General GIBBON,
Commanding Eighteenth Corps:

If any officers of high rank belonging to the Eighteenth Corps were killed at Cold Harbor or Petersburg the commanding general desires to have their names, in order to name three redoubts on our line around Petersburg. These redoubts are on the front formerly occupied by the Eighteenth Corps. Please let me have an early reply, as the list is full, with the exception of the three mentioned.
