Adjutant General Samuels
Wheeling Virginia

Sir,

The vacancy caused by the resignation of Lieutenant J. F. Kendricks, Company B, 5th Virginia Volunteers, has not been filled. Sergeant Francis J. Bancroft is a good man for the place. I would honorably request that 2nd Lieutenant Robert B. McCall be promoted to 1st Lieutenancy and Bancroft commissioned 2nd Lieutenant.

John Ziegler
Colonel Commanding Regiment

I concur in the above.
