Civil War Infantry
Twenty Second Regiment Infantry
Fort Whittaker, Opposite Lookout Mountain Near Chattanooga, October 12th, 1863. Sir, —Having had the honor of commanding the 22d Michigan, Colonel Le Favour, in
toy brigade in the battle of Chickamauga, and being personally observant of their undaunted heroism, I send a copy of my report to advise you more especially, and a copy of the tabular statement accompanying, that you may see their loss. Let me urge you for the good of our service, and as a reward to a chivalrous officer, to use your influence for the promotion of Colonel Le Favour.
Respectfully yours, etc.,
W. C. WHITTAKER,
Brig. Gen. 4th A. C. To the Governor of Michigan, Lansing, Michigan:
P. S. —Do not have my report published until the military restrictions about publishing reports are removed.
