Camp Light Co C. 3^d R.I. Artillery

Beaufort, April 22^d 1863

 

Colonel,

            The enclosed communication explains itself. please approve and forward to the Chief of the special Arm for his approval before passing through Department Head Quarters. A large Court Martial has just been convened, two or three Colonels, and no member below the rank of Major. I hear nothing of Briggs' case that is new. Rebels have communicated by flag of truce with Saxton in regard to the Washington, have not learned particulars.

                                                                                   

Truly yours

C. R. Brayton
