Head Quarters 186th Ohio Vols
Cleveland Tenn March 20/65
Dear General
I passed through Tullahoma a
few days ago en route home and
was very sorry I could not stop to
see you and Maj. Cravens. But the
train did not make a halt there.
I tried hard when at Nashville to get
assigned to your command but
could not move the heart of Maj
Hoffman. In the very first place
I suppose I ought to have stated that
I have been appointed Colonel of the
186th Ohio Regt. by Gov. Brough (?)
and am here in command of it.
You know that I am not pretending
when I asure you I am very anx
ious to be assigned to your com
mand. We are here under a
whole generation of Dutchmen –
Three German Regts being in the Brig.
