Canby Thanks Navy for Cooperation in the West

JUNE 1ST, 1865:  In his report regarding the surrender of Confederate forces, Major General Edward Canby, commanding the Military Division of West Mississippi, noted -- "during the whole period of my command in the Southwest, I was materially aided by the zealous and efficient cooperation of the naval forces of the West Gulf and Mississippi squadrons and a more effective acknowledgement than mine is due to Admiral Farragut, Commodore Palmer, Admiral Thatcher, successive commanders of the West Gulf, and Admirals Porter and Lee, of the Mississippi Squadron, and to their subordinates in both squadrons."

Thanks a Lot, Navy!  --Old B-Runner
