Honorable E. M. STANTON,

Secretary of War, Washington:

Has the order been promulgated yet for the organization of the First Army Corps, about which you telegraphed me some two weeks ago? If it is to be issued I think it would be advisable to issue it at once.

Honorable E. M. STANTON,

Secretary of War:

This assignment, however, I do not wish made at present. It is my intention to transfer all the white troops from the Tenth, and all colored troops from other corps to it, and then assign Weitzel to the command.

U. S. GRANT,

Lieutenant-General.

Reynolds for services at Fredericksburg, Chew [Fitzhugh's] Crossing, Port Royal, and Chancellorsville. Subsequently I recommended him for promotion for his services at Gettysburg, where he was wounded.
