To the field officers of the regiments was largely due the efficiency of Martin's Brigade.
Colonel William F. Martin, LieutenantColo-nel Thomas H. Sharpe, Lieutenant-Colonel John C. Lamb, and Major Lucius J. Johnson, of the Seventeenth; Colonel John E. Brown, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles W. Bradshaw, and Major T. J. Brown, of the Forty-second; Colonel A. D. Moore, Colonel John H. Nethercutt, Lieutenant-Colonel Clement G. Wright, and Major David S. Davis, of the Sixty-sixth, were each and all brave, intelligent, faithful, and true under all circumstances.
Nearly all of these are now ‘resting from their labors.’
This communication will be followed by a sketch of the operations of Kirkland's Brigade in North Carolina.
Respectfully,
Charles G. Elliott, Late Captain and A. A. G.
