Apl. 3d, 1863

Brig. Genl. Reynolds,

Dear Genl.:

Do not fear that I undervalue the services of your Corps. At the proper time full justice will be done yourself & them. No words of mine can express the appreciation I feel for your services. It will be right at the proper time. I can say no more now.

Truly [yours?]

Joseph Hooker

Maj. Genl.
