Head Quarters 57^th Regt. Veteran Vols.,       

Camp Wool April 12, 1864.

 

This is to Certify that

 

2^nd Lieut Chas F. Lee 57^th Regt Mass Vet Vols having been compelled by the present condition of a wound received at the second battle of Bull Run to resign his commission in this regiment, being unfit for active field service, is in my opinion a deserving candidate for a commission in the Invalid or Veteran Reserve Corps.

 

            He is a faithful and efficient officer, and I regret his not being able to take active service with this regiment.

 

            I do hereby respectfully recommend him for a commission in the above Corps.
