reverse by a much superior force to your own that our position was held. Your skillful management of your command, your gallant charge upon the enemy - the evidence of which is found in the prisoners and arms taken by you - entitle you to my special commendation as commanding the Division and to the most favorable notice of the Government.
It will give me great pleasure at all times to speak warmly in your favor and I trust it may be the pleasure of the Government to recognize suitably your skill and gallantry.
Very truly & respectfully, Your friend James Barnes Brig. Genl. Commdg.[?] 1st Div., 5th Corps.
