Nathaniel W. Brown to Edwin Metcalf, 27 May 186X
Hilton Head May 27th
 
Dear Major
                        Company E arrived from Daufuskie last evening and will join you with this letter. the Major who has seen them does not exactly like the state they are in, does not think Turner with all his good qualities exactly the man to command, and wanted me to be sure and write you to put Eldridge in command. Do not let him fly off in any tangent to serve in any light battery. If possible send me word where the surplus muskets of Co K & H are as soon as K's 10 men get back will forward them if I can find the muskets
                                                                       
Yours in haste
NWB
