Capt. Harvey Dutton Recommends Two Enlisted Men for Promotion (1864)



Tigerville, La
Nov 3rd, 1864 
Col. I. H. Elliott, 
In accordance with your instructions of yesterday I would recommend Sergeant Sylvester W. Durflinger and Corporal Rasselas P. Reynolds of Co. A 33rd Ills Vet Vol Infntry for the positions, spoken of, in Col. Bryant's Regt. 
Sergeant Durflinger has never been examined except by the Regim't'l Board.  Corporal Reynolds passed examination before Col. Currie's board in the city last spring and was recommended for 1st Lieut. 
Very Respectively,
Your obedient servant,  
H.J. Dutton
Capt. Co. A 33rd Ills Inft.

If anything more than this is necessary please inform me.
H.J. Dutton capt.
