George W. Adams, 2nd Lieutenant, 91st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Jackson Court House, Jackson County, Ohio. To Adjutant General Charles W. Hill.

Bears a penciled note stating that it ought not to be necessary to say to Adams, and yet it seemed to be, that the military committee was merely an advisory board and not an appointing board, and that an order legally issued or appointment legally made held good until revoked.
