Beau[nas] station May 10th 1865 Dear Col. I telegraphed you from [Mitchell?] to not act on My suggestion to be musterd out for the reason only that I was affraid that as B? being envious towards unclear might take occasion to abuse him and I felt it my duty to him to remain thinking perhaps I might be some protection - But since following him down from Sur? I have changed my mind and am now fully determined to go out in case you do. His actions at Jab? and unclear is a disgrace to the Regiment and those that serve with it. Actions should be at once taken in his case at once for the Protection of the honor
