A.J. Wilkin. To Governor David Tod. Letter stating that Captain George W. Pepper of Company H, 80th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry had resigned or was about to resign his place in the army owing perhaps to loss of health, that feeling a deep interest in the affairs of that company formed mostly of his immediate neighbors, he was very anxious that it should be furnished with a tried and worthy commander, that for said place, he recommended Sergeant Nicholas R. Tidball of Company H, 80th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that he was well acquainted with Tidball and knew him to be in every way well adapted to fill said place with ability, that no appointment could be made which would be more acceptable to Company H, that if left to the choice of the company, he doubted not that Tidball would be unanimously elected to fill said vacancy, that Tidball served as 2nd Lieutenant in the 16th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry (three months' service) in western Virginia with entire satisfaction to his company, that when Tidball returned, he addressed himself to raising recruits for the 51st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and 80th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and perhaps did more than any other Private to raise these regiments, that the company with which Tidball was now connected (Company H, 80th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry) depended more on him for instruction and assistance than any officer in it, and that Tidball's promotion would be merited and a great benefit to the service.

Banks of Company K, 67th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry to Hill's favorable notice; and stating that Banks was a young man of excellent morals and sober habits, besides being a first class soldier, that Banks fought bravely at Winchester, that he was indebted to Banks' courage and energy for his escape from the rebels two weeks ago, and that anything Hill could do for Banks at any time in the changes which were always occurring in a regiment, it would be doing him a favor and justice to a brave soldier.

Letter stating that he had written Tod several times in relation to filling vacancies in the 80th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that he presumed the recommendations never reached Tod, that owing to the climate, service, and forced marches, the regiment had been badly decimated particularly in officers until there was but one or two companies that could command the services of more than one company officer, that the Regimental Quartermaster had gone home sick long since and he had been compelled to detail a Lieutenant to act in his stead, that he had never had an Adjutant, that Lieutenant C.E. Mitchener was appointed, but never joined the regiment and had long since resigned, that he wrote Tod to make another appointment, but was satisfied his letter never arrived, that owing to their condition, he was unable to longer detail officers from their company for those places and must have an Adjutant independent of the companies, that the regimental and company officers all united in recommending his son, William J. Eckley, that motives of delicacy prevented him from expressing any opinion to them, that his son had been Quartermaster Sergeant and had done all the duties of that department, that as the accompanying paper would show the estimation in which his son was held by the regiment and indicated their choice, he would be content in saying that he believed his son qualified and would be satisfied with his appointment, that the Captaincies of Company A and Company H were vacant, that for the one he recommended 1st Lieutenant James E. Philpot, who for his merit and services in the field had won the right to promotion, that 1st Lieutenant S. Wallace, who was the senior Lieutenant, was under arrest for refusing to obey the orders of the division commander and was suspended from duty, that the second senior Lieutenant (Davis) had never yet done a day's duty and was entirely unfit for anything, that he recommended the third senior Lieutenant (M.C. West) for the second vacant Captaincy, that the vacancy in 1st Lieutenant should be filled by regular promotions, that for 2nd Lieutenant in Company A he recommended the appointment of Frederick Buell, now Orderly Sergeant of that company, that for 2nd Lieutenant in Company C he recommended John Beatty, acting Orderly Sergeant, and that he hoped the vacancies might be filled immediately.

Davis to the 2nd Lieutenancy to fill the vacancy occasioned by said promotion, that in this connection he desired to repeat a recommendation, made long since under cover to Adjutant General [C.P.] Buckingham, of the promotion of 1st Lieutenant Luther M. Buchwalter of Company A to the Captaincy of Company H occasioned by the resignation of John Earhart, that this was very important as the 2nd Lieutenant, though a very steady man, was incompetent to command, that a long time since, a vacancy occurred in the 1st Lieutenancy of Company H by the resignation of Thomas M. Gray, that to fill said vacancy he recommended the appointment of 1st Sergeant Edward H. Miller, this being in accordance with his own wishes and the expressed desire of the majority of the company, that either his communication miscarried or the recommendation was disregarded and 2nd Lieutenant John W.I. Stevenson of Company I, being the ranking 2nd Lieutenant, was appointed, that knowing that this was contrary to the wishes of the company and the expectations and desire of Stevenson, as well as injudicious under the circumstances, he ventured to recommend the revocation of that appointment and repeat his recommendation of Miller, that to this communication he received no reply, that while stationed at Franklin, he received a commission for Stevenson, that he then took the liberty of again entering protest against this appointment and still recommending the promotion of Miller, that to all these communications he was without reply, that he would not so strenuously urge these measures were he not confident that the good of the service required them, and that he hoped his recommendations might receive Hill's early attention.
