Reynolds, Joseph Jones, 1822-1899

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Colonel Noble

General Reynolds returns papers relating to the 14th Regiment to Colonel Noble. Writes, "I would recommend the promotion of a Captain of the 14th to be Major of the 14th I have a high opinion of Adjutant Blinn, but giving him two grades in promotion at once would seem to slight meritorious Captains- I would not promote any Captain that has signed Wood's paper- On the whole, I go for Cap Coons" (possibly referring to Adjutant John P. Blinn and Captain John Coons). One bust engraving of Reynolds incldued as collateral.
