Transcription[Letter, continued] 10; and rendered valuable service in the advanced parallels. Captain S.C. Eaton was but a few days on duty on the work executed under my direction. He was chiefly employed on the extreme left. Lieutenant H. Farrand had chief superintendence of the earthwork of the Second and Third Parallels throughout the siege. His services in opening both were conspicuous. Lieutenant C.L. Wilcken had entire charge of building the splinter and bomb proof shelters in the Second Parallel. After completing this work he was engaged on the sap. Lieutenants Farrand and Wilcken were more days on duty under my orders than any other engineer officers. Lieutenant E.N.K. Talcott assisted Lieutenant Farrand in the operations above enumerated and chiefly superintended the construction of Batteries Rosecrans and Meade. He has given valuable aid in preparing this report.
