my three brigades, and to ask for their promotions, at least by brevet, to the rank of Brigadier-General.
I have also to request that Colonel B. D. Fearing, Ninety-second Ohio volunteers, an officer of surpassing merit, and the only other full colonel who made the campaign with the division, may be promoted to the same grade.

I am, sir, very respectfully,
A. Baird, Brigadier-General Commanding Division.
