Two letters recommending the promotion of Harry L. Stone, a private in Company A of the 50th Ohio Infantry. The letters were written by officers in Stone's company. On 5 April 1863 Maj. Thomas P. Cook writes to William H. Stone, praising the service record of his son Harry L. Stone and recommending him for promotion. Cook commends Harry's conduct in Camp Dennison as well as at the Battle of Perryville and during Morgan's Raid. Also enclosed is a note dated 4 June 1863 from Thomas Gwynne, Capt. of Co. A, who also recommends Stone for promotion. Gwynne's note is signed by Col. Silas Allen Strickland, who concurs with his assessment of Stone's character.
