Navy Yard, New York,
Decr. 23d, 1863.
My Dear Mr. Potts:
The bearer of this is Henry C. Meyer, my young friend who has gallantly served in the field with Generals Kilpatrick and Gregg.
He is to my knowledge a gentleman by education and association, and in every way calculated to fill the place of a First Lieutenant.
I have given a letter to the Adj't-General, and if you can speak a good word for him you will do me a great kindness.
All his attributes are those of a gentleman.
