Headquarters 5th Corps
January 10, 1865

General,

I have received a letter from an old soldier of my command desiring to come home with a band.

As your own passes out of service in a few weeks I address it to you for your consideration.

Respectfully yours,

Samuel W. Crawford
Brevet Major General


General Hoffmann

The old 20th NY had one of the very best bands in the service. The leader who now makes application in an able and worthy man. I will gladly give you every assistance in this matter you may need.
