Respectfully forwarded.
Although the style and matter of this report show that Colonel Kargé himself is entirely unacquainted with his duty, so far as the duty of making reports of criminal neglect on the part of his subordinate officers is concerned, the report is, nevertheless, transmitted, with the recommendation that Lieutenant Hoffman be dishonorably discharged from the service of the United States, to date from the day of his
capture. W. B. FRANKLIN, Major-General, Commanding Left Wing.

No. 1.—Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum, U. 8. Army, commanding Twelfth Army Corps. No. 2.—Brig. Gen. John W. Geary, U. 8. Army, commanding Second Division.
