Letter from Major and Assistant Adjutant-General John Blair Hoge on Confederate War Department letterhead, June 1864. Transcription of letter: Confederate States of America, War Department, Adjutant and Inspector General's Office, Richmond, Va. June 22nd 1864. Colonel, It appears by reports forwarded to this Department that a Consolidation, apparently irregular, of the Second and Fourteenth Battalions Ala. Calvary, has been made, forming a regiment which is called by the officer reporting it, the 7th Regiment Ala. Cavalry. On the records of this office, the regiment thus known appears to be under your command as Colonel. The Secretary of War directs me to request that you will, as soon as practicable, cause to be forwarded to this Department a correct Roster and accurate Master Rolls of your Regiment. A blank Roster is herewith enclosed. Very Respectfully, Your (illegible), Jno. Blair Hoge Major AAAG Col. Joseph Hodgson Through Maj. Gen. D. W. Marvey (?) (illegible) The reverse side has several notes regarding receipt of the letter. It is signed again by Blair Hoge, writing that no reply was received to the original letter. Also appears to be signed by Brigadier General Thomas T.J. Carver A.A.A.G. and Mason A.A.A.G, although both of these signatures are difficult to read (see photograph). John Blair Hoge (1825-1896) US Congressman.
