Letter stating that there was a young man in their company who he wanted Tod to commission as a Lieutenant, that said individual was worthy of it and deserved it, that there were a great many who were not worthy of commissions, but who got them because they were "favorites" of the officers, that this was why there were so many poor officers and why so many drunken, good for nothing men got to be officers, that it was ridiculous for such officers to command good men, that it was no wonder there was so much discontent in the army, that he did not aspire after office, but liked to see merit rewarded, that there were several applicants for Lieutenant out of Company C as there was a vacancy to fill, but they were not worthy of it, that the individual he wanted commissioned was John H. Roberts, a Private in Company C, that Roberts would make his mark upon the page of history, that if he had any kind of a chance, there was no doubt that Roberts would ultimately fill some high office of the Government, that Roberts was not wealthy, but he had a mind which nothing could keep back, that Roberts was moral and had a very bright intellect, that if Tod did justice, he could not help but give Roberts a commission, and that he could have gotten a recommendation from the Captain and Major, but did not think it worthwhile.
