Charles Harmon, Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. To the Honorable B.F. Hoffman. Letter stating that he was writing on behalf of the 24th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, soliciting that Hoffman interest himself in the regiment's welfare by urging the powers that be to appoint Major A[lbert] S. Hall to its Lieutenant Colonelcy, that the reason why Hall should be promoted to said post was merit, that for two months past, while the Union column of Kentucky was daily drilling in order to move in vast masses upon the foe, Hall was in command of the 24th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that self-confident, but with energy and perseverance to maintain it, Hall handled the regiment in skirmish, brigade, and division drill, that these were evolutions which the camps of instruction north of the Ohio had not taught the volunteer field officers, that one third of the field officers shrank from these responsibilities and found relief in sick furloughs and resignations, but not Hall, that to the vigilance which Colonel [Jacob] Ammen (Acting Brigadier General) had stamped upon the regiment for defensive strength, Hall added the "vim" and enthusiasm so essential for attacking columns, an activity which the Union forces expected to engage in, that the steamer ordered to move along the flag ship of General [William] Nelson as he steamed with the 4th Division and two other brigades up the Cumberland River to Nashville, Tennessee was placed in command of Hall, that the 24th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry was the first to disembark in front of Nashville and the first regiment to march (to the tune of "Yankee Doodle") into the heart of the city, that the 24th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry held the approaches to Nashville while Nelson received its formal surrender, that these posts of honor showed the estimation in which the regiment and its commanding officer were held by the Acting Major General under whose eye the 24th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry had been for two months, and that after Nashville was taken and honors bestowed on the brave boys of the 24th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, along came Lieutenant Colonel [Frederick C.] Jones with a commission ninety days old and no certificate of qualification returned in due time to rob the regiment's commanding officer of his place and honor as its head; asking if such an individual as Jones should command the 24th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the oldest regiment save one in the volunteer service; stating that Hall represented in his sentiments the spirit of the masses of the Western Reserve, a feeling which most of the West Pointers sneered at and decried, and that in quick, pointed rejoinder and cutting repartee, Hall never failed to turn the tables upon them when discussions sprang up; and asking that Hoffman further the appointment of Hall to the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the 24th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
