Typed and signed as a true copy by Albert L. Mills as First Lieutenant and Adjutant First Cavalry. General Pleasanton recommends to Stanton, Secretary of War, that General Brisbin be retained at his current post based on his meritorious service in the campaigns of Antietam and Gettysburg. Adds that he has recently been "actively employed in organizing colored troops in Kentucky" and will therefore "prove a very useful officer to be retained in this branch of the service." These typewritten copies date to circa 1887-1891 based on Mill's rank and assignment at the time.
