It seems the sequence I wrote last night was a bit off. I have found some letters from some interesting people asking the Judge Advocate General to consider Robinett’s distinguished service in the war. One was no less than Grant himself; others from his commanding officer at the 1st U.S. Infantry in New Orleans and from his division commander at Vicksburg.
So, how does it look tonight? Like HCR was NOT actually dismissed from service that the letters from Grant and others caused the guilty verdict to be commuted.
How does Senator Hall fit in? It now looks like he was campaigning to have Harry promoted from 1st Lieutenant to Major just weeks after his sentence was commuted.
