A.N. Preston, acting assistant adjutant general of the District of Mississippi, details his qualifications for promotion; the top portion of his request is missing, so the addressee and date are unknown. Brevet Major General Thomas J. Wood adds his recommendation on January 10, 1867. W. T. Sherman recommends Preston's promotion on January 15. The request is signed and forwarded to the Secretary of War by Grant on April 19, 1867.
