Capt. Robinson's statements upon such matters cannot be relied upon in the least. He acts here just as he did at Leavenworth. In every way courts the favor of the Commanding Officer, associates twice as much with the officers of the white troops as with those of his own regiment, and then with the latter alone, swears at the former continually for the invidious distinctions they make against our regiment. On this account officers here do not trust him and I don't blame them.
I believe, General, that if there is in the regiment any officer who is discontented and don't like the color [underline] of his regiment, Capt. Robinson is the man, else why is always [underline] harping on "nigger officers" and their hardships, without any cause. [last 3 words underline] These opinions I think you will recollect is the same I have before expressed of him only made stronger by what I have seen and heard of him here. He can do very well when he tries but it is certain that he is not to be trusted.
