To The President,
   Colonal Charles H. Tomkins, Asst.Q.M.GeneralU.S.A.
being an applicant for promotion to the position of
Quartermaster General on the Retirement of General
Holabird.
I beg the privilege of saying to you from my close
relations with the Late General Sheridan I had the
opportunity of knowing the highest esteme in which he
help Colonal Tomkins as a man and an Officer, and
that he considered him so efficient and capable that had
not death intervened I am sure when the vacancy occured
he would not only have pleaded on accord the strongest
evidences of the ability and usefulness of COlonal Tomkins,
but would also have made strenuous personal appeals in his
behalf, for I have often heard General Sheridan say that he
would consider the promotion of Colonal Tomkins to the
Quartermaster's Department one of the most beneficial things
that could occur to the Army.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt.Sevt.
