H.C. Whitman, Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio. To Governor David Tod. Letter stating that as consolidation of the remaining fragments of the Ohio regiments was to take place, he desired to bring Lieutenant Colonel Henry B. Hunter, 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry to Tod's favorable consideration, that Hunter was from Lancaster, that Hunter had been the active man in getting up the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that Hunter had done nothing but labor for months in this matter, that Hunter had expended several hundred dollars out of his private means, that in the consolidation to take place, Hunter was in fairness and justice entitled to hold his present position, that Hunter was a man of the highest moral character and sternest integrity, that Hunter was faithful, prompt, and brave, that all the men of the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry had been highly pleased with Hunter, that Hunter's retention, besides being called for by every consideration of justice, would be a popular act, that over eleven companies had been raised for the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and it seemed hard that Hunter, having done so much towards raising the regiment, should now be cast off, and that the rule forbidding officers of one regiment being transferred to another could not be construed to apply to a consolidation of mere fragments of regiments.
