War-dated ALS signed “R. B. Ayres, Brig. Genl. Comdg.,” one page both sides, 5 x 8, embossed letterhead, December 30, 1863. General Ayres writes a recommendation from Headquarters of the 2nd Division, 5th Corps, for Captain Joseph M. Locke, in full: “”I take pleasure in alluding to the services of Captain Joseph M. Locke, 14th U. S. Infantry. He was for sometime previous to and while I commanded the…Brigade of this division (regulars) the Spt. Adjt. Genl—one of the most important positions in a command; and when I look at the able officers from whom my predecesor [sic] had means of selecting, I can say that he paid a high compliment to Capt. Locke’s ability and soldierly qualities in selecting him for that post. I found Capt. Locke possessed of high integrity, industrious and kind to all, while attentive to his duties. A regiment would find in him a Colonel who would look after all their wants, and in kindness teach them their duties.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, a uniform shade of toning with a darker block to the top right corner, two mild areas of foxing, and an area of separation along the hinge.
