Keifer, a United States Representative from Ohio, writes "I will do what I can to aid in the passage of the bill you refer to for the benefit of Genl Hunt, who deserves the relief proposed by that bill. I know his history very well. I think great injustice has been done by our government to many of those old officers who have devoted their lives in sustaining the integrity of the army and submitting to whatever sacrifices came." Thanks Welles, which he spells as "Wells," for his expressions of friendship. Keifer possibly referred to a bill that would grant Henry Jackson Hunt the rank of Major General on the retired list. Written on House of Representatives stationery.
