Manuscript DS, signed “John H. Martindale, Brigadier General, Commanding,” and endorsed on the reverse, “Approved and earnestly recommended for immediate action. With high respect, Your obt. servt., F.J. Porter, Brig. Genl. Comdg,” two pages, 8 x 12.5, January 8, 1862. Martindate writes, in full: “To His Excellency E.D. Morgan, Governor of New York. I have to recommend the following promotions and appointments in the 13th Regiment N.Y.S.V.” He goes on to list those recommended for promotion. Martindale also notes that changes were made from the original list of promotions submitted as he says, “I found some of the persons heretofore proposed to you utterly incompetent. Be kind enough to inform me by telegraph as soon as the appointments are made, that the parties may enter on their duties, pending the transmission of commissions.” A second manuscript document provides a list, stating that, “All of the Officers and men recommended are now members of the 13th Regiment.” Three horizontal folds, a few light separations to the folds, and a couple of notations in red pencil, otherwise fine condition.
