This is
to certify that W. H. E. Morecock, Esq. was ordered
in detached service in the December of 1864 with
Major John Branton, by General R. S Ewell, then
in command of Richmond & its vicinity, and remained
on this duty until the close of the war. While
on this service, he was requested by the James City
Artillery to become their 1st Lieutenant – that position
not being filled at the time, & an application was
forwarded & recommended by Gen. Ewell, to the War Department
& it would certainly have been favorably acted on, had
not the war terminated soon after it was received
by the War Department.
