General Wilson, commander of the 3rd Division, Cavalry Corps, writes to Sprague, Adjutant General for the State of New York. Appears to have been directed to "Wm. T. Sprague," which is possibly a mistake, since John Titcomb Sprague was Adjutant General for the State of New York August 1861- January 1865. Wilson reports that Major C. Moore (possibly Caleb Moore), 8th New York Cavalry, has been assigned to command the 22nd Regiment of Cavalry by order of Major General Philip Sheridan. Requests that no appointments or promotions be made in the 22nd Regiment, except upon the recommendation of Major Moore.
