Maj. General Schofield

Commanding Dept of the Ohio

General

I take special pleasure in recommending to Your favorable consideration Captain Fr. de Tavernier a very gallant and worthy young officer who left the Prussian army about three years ago to take part in our present struggle. Capt F. has earned the encomiums of his superior Officers wherever he has served and is worthy of your special consideration.

If you can give him an appointment on Your staff or assist him, if that is impossible


in obtaining a position of this kind on the Staff of some other General Officer, you will confer a favor upon a meritorious young Officer and personally oblige,

Your obed't serv't
