Col
The order of promotion of Corporal Mann to be Lieut and that he should report to me for duty, I have received. As he knows nothing of ordnance duties and will be in hourly contact with his soldier companions. I suggest if it would not be better to give him some other station. He will make an excellent drill officer.
Very Respy Yours
