When I started page one of the Dragoon, I thought it may run into two pages. However I found so much information, I’m adding yet a other page. This is page three, and there will be a fourth. As stated in the beginning of pages one and two, the same can be said of this page. Those of you who would like more information on a name or to just ask a question, can do so by writing to me at the following: dsegelquist1@cox.net

To the Senate of the United States:
For the reason assigned in the accompanying communication of the Secretary of War, I desire the consent of the Senate to the correction of the cleric error in the name of Lieutenant Holliday of the Second Regiment of Dragoons, as therein proposed.
Washington, July 2, 1852.
War Department, July 2, 1852.
The name of Lieutenant Holliday, of the 2d Dragoons, having been incorrectly written in the list of nominations for regular promotions in the Army dated December 19, 1851, and confirmed by the Senate the 28th ultimo, I have the honor to propose a correction of the clerical error by the substitution of the name of Jonas P. Holliday instead of "John P. Holiday."
To the President of the United States.
Adjutant General's Office,
Washington, July 2, 1852.
Sir: In the list of nominations for regular promotion made to the Senate the 19th of December last the name of Lieutenant Holliday, of the Second Dragoons, was given as John P. Holiday (in which way, owing to a clerical error, it had been borne on the rolls since his graduation), and his nomination was so confirmed by the Senate the 28th ultimo. By a letter, however, recently received from him, it appears his true name is Jonas P. Holliday; and it is therefore respectfully suggested, that the Senate be requested to make this change in their confirmation of his nomination.
Washington City, July 2d, 1852.
The Senate advise and consent to the promotion of Brevet Second Lieutenant Jonas P. Holliday to be second lieutenant in the Second Regiment of United States Dragoons, October 11th, 1851, vice Tree, promoted, the same person having been heretofore erroneously nominated and confirmed by the name of "John P. Holiday."

That so much of Gen. Lincolns letter as relates to money, be referred to the Treasury board.
With respect to the 500 dollars to be paid by the Quarter Master General under the resolution of August the 12th 1778 to such officers authorized to be in the field on horse back; who shall have their horses killed in action, the board are of opinion, that however adequate this sum might be at the time of making the resolve, yet at present, it, is on account of the great depreciation of the money--by no means equal to the object Congress had in view, and therefore recommend, Resolved, That, every officer in the army of the United States, whose duty requires his being on horse back in time of action, be allowed a sum not exceeding the average price given at the time in the department, or place where the accident shall happen for homes purchased for private dragoons, as a compensation for any horse he shall have killed in battle. This resolution to have retrospect as far as the 1st of January 1779 and the quarter master general or his deputy is hereby authorized to pay the value of such horses, not exceeding the said price, to the respective sufferers, on the facts being properly authenticated.
