" I hereby certify that Lieut. John C. Whiting has served in my
command during the past year. In that time he has acted as adjutant,
and for a large portion of the time has commanded a company. I
consider him one of the best officers in the service. He is a thorough
tactician, an excellent disciplinarian, and a faithful and efficient officer.
He was promoted for gallantry at the battle of West Point, and highly
distinguished himself at the battles of Gaines' Hill, Charles City,
Cross Roads, Crampton's Pass, and Antietam. I can cordially recommend
him for promotion."
tte was subsequently promoted to the office of captain.
