man, and one who is desirous of serving his country in the field, to the end of the rebellion.
Mr Tibbetts has three brothers now in the service besides himself and all have been there from the commencement of the war which I think is a reason why he should be promoted. By giving him a commission in some Regiment,-(either black or white) you will confer a great favor upon him. I know very well that all cannot be Officers in the army, but I feel an interest for this man and trust [underlined] that you will give him a Lieut commission
I am Respectfully Your Obt Servt
