Washington Oct^r 22^d 1883

 

My dear General,

                        Col: John W. Glenn, who is a Texan and was a valuable officer of the Army of Tennessee as engineer, is an applicant for the office of Supervising Architects &c formerly occupied by Mr Hill.

 

            He was thoroughly educated in his profession, and has had much experience, in which he established a high character wherever he has been employed. I know him well and am confident of his competence for the office named, and beg you for such recommendation of him as you can give on the testimony of another.

                                                                                               

Yours very truly

J. E. Johnston

 

He is now Sup^t of Construction in New Orleans
