American Civil War
Fourteenth Regiment Infantry
Camp Farmington, Miss., May 11th, 1862. Colonel R. P. Sinclair:
I deem it no breach of military etiquette or discipline, that I call to your notice a brave and gallant officer of your command. My excuse therefore is, that having fought on the 9th of May detached from his command, with the eye of no superior officer of your command upon him to give him credit due his courage and ability. I refer to captain Thomas C. Fitzgibbon, Company B, 14th Michigan Infantry. Near the close of the fight on the 9th inst., in an hour of severe trial, he fought his way to our lines and reported to me for orders.
