Letter stating that he was appointed as a recruiting officer for the 52nd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that on account of recruiting being stopped soon after he began, he did not get enough men to entitle him to a commission, that when the several detachments were consolidated, he was thrown out and some others with him, that if he understood orders correctly, it was that those recruiting officers who were thrown out should have the benefit of any vacancies which might occur, that those who stayed with their detachments, and did not leave because they were necessarily thrown out, should have the benefit of any vacancies in preference to those who did leave because they failed in securing the positions they wished to get, that of all the recruiting officers of the 52nd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry who were thrown out, there were but two or three who would stay when they found they were thrown out, that he thought it would be only just that those who stayed with their detachments should have the first chance for promotions when any vacancies occurred in that part of the consolidated regiment which was once the 52nd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that if there was any chance for promotion, he would like to have the benefit of such chance, and that he could give the best of military references there in camp.
