Head Qrs. Battery "C." 3^d R.I.A.

Beaufort S.C. May 11^th/63

 

Colonel,

            I would like to have Isaac Esleecke of Co L. to do my harness-work as I have but a shoe-maker and he cuts leather to poor advantage and I have much repairing to do. I am ready for the mason to build my oven as soon as convenient for you to send him. I delivered the laddle and your communication to Lieut. Hamner who has no doubt made suitable acknowleagement of both to you. He was much pleased with his promotion and I think deserves it.

                                                                                               

 

Truly yours,

C R Brayton

 

Col Edwin Metcalf
