Brigadier General French writes to Major Parisen from headquarters of the 3rd Brigade, Sumner's division: "Understanding that the Lieutenant Colonel of the 57th N. Y. Volunteers, has been mustered out of service, and you being the next Field officer in the regular line for promotion, I beg to hope you will receive the appointment on account of your constant labors to promote the efficiency of your regiment and for the zeal and energy displayed in duties connected with this Brigade..." One bust engraving of French included as collateral.
