Rappahannock Station Va. July 29/63

 

Capt. Daniel Marston

                                    Dr. Sir—

                 Your letter dated the 25^th inst. has been recd. In reply to your request I would say that Adjt. Small Capt. Fennell & Capt. Conley left here the 25^th inst. for Maine for the purpose of bringing out conscripts. I rejoined the Regt. on the 25^th & found they had already been detailed. In regard to your books & papers it will be impossible to send them as they are needed here to enable the officer in charge of your company to make his returns.

 

                                                            I remain yours &c

                                                                        A. B. Farnham

                                                                        Lt. Col. 16^th Maine
