Sir

            In reply to yours of 19^th ins^t. I have to say that the Reg^t Color of the 32^d Reg^t was delivered to Col' Prescott very soon after his promotion to the Command of that Corps. If so requested I doubt not Col' P. would receipt to you for it, as for other regt^l property turned over to him. I have no authority to surrender the receipts, but do certify that the Color with appendages / was sent to Col Prescott at his request

 

Very Respectfully

Your Ob^t Sv^t
