I wish all to feel a just pride in its real honors.
To General Howard and his command, to General Jeff.

C.Davis and his, I am more than usually indebted for the intelligence of commanders and fidelity of commands.

The brigade of Colonel Bushbeck, belonging to the Eleventh Corps, which was the first to come out of Chattanooga to my flank, fought at the Tunnel Hill, in connection with General Ewing's division, and displayed a courage almost amounting to rashness.

Following the enemy almost to the tunnel-gorge, it lost many valuable lives, prominent among them Lieutenant-Colonel Taft, spoken of as a most gallant soldier.
In General Howard throughout I found a polished and Christian gentleman, exhibiting the highest and most chivalric traits of the soldier.

General Davis handled his division with artistic skill, more especially at the moment we encountered the enemy's rear-guard, near Graysville, at nightfall.
