Castine Oct 1st 1862

Dear Sir I see by the paper
tonight that first Lieut
George J. Brown has Resigned
his place in Company
B 2d Regt Maine Vols
James C Collins is now
2d Lieut and I think he
is high enough and so
Does the Capt. of the Company
My Son Charles is orderly
Sergeant of the same company and I should
like for him to be First
Lieut if it can be done
but if it cannot give
the 2d Lieuts place to him
but we want him to have
the first he is better fitted
for it then Collins.   Collins
is now at home he would
be satisfyed where he is
