To-day Senator McDougal asks that 1st. Lieut. Lawrence Kip, now on Gen. Wool's Staff, may be a Brigadier General. The Senator makes this a personal request---almost---and I wish to oblige him.
Annotation
[1] AD-P, ISLA. First Lieutenant Lawrence Kip had been brevetted captain (as of May 5, 1862), and major (as of July 1, 1862) for meritorious and distinguished service at Williamsburg and Fair Oaks. His appointment as major of Volunteers and aide-de-camp on General Sumner's staff, as of August 20, 1862, was confirmed by the Senate on March 11, 1863. No record has been found of his nomination as brigadier general.
