Hd Qtrs Mil Div of the Miss
Nashville Tenn
Dec 23rd 1863
The Recommendation of Lt Col Hammond
for promotion in the Cavalry service of the
United States. In the case of the organization
of new cavalry Regiments in the Regular army
is heartily endorsed by me. I know Col Ham-
mond to be an active and intelligent officer, particularly
calculated for the Cavalry service, both in his tastes &
natural qualifications. For the command of a Cav-
alry Regt or any force likely to come within the com-
mand of a Col, I deem Col Hammond so
well qualified, that I will be pleased in this trans-
fer made of his services and feel no doubt,
but that with the opportunity to do so, he will
win further promotion
