No officer of the Regt. more distinguished himself in the battle of Monterrey and he was noticed for gallantry and good conduct in two reports which I had the honor to make on that occasion. I requested our friend S. Adams M. C. of Mi. to present Mr. P. for a commission in the unit of any new Rgts. being raised. In forwarding his application I feel great confidence that he will fulfill the highest expectations should you be pleased to grant his request." Signed "Jeffer. Davis, Col. Mi. Rifles."
