old members were ordered into line and
marched away. and no officer gave a
parting word to us. we number 118. most of
which have been in all the regt. has seen.
except the 1st Bull Run. we were left without
arms. guard. officers. or rations. and have 
had none appointed since. of our own
numbers we have appointed one to take
charge. and we have set a guard.
Gen. Barnes has sent word to us that he
shall transfer 70. into the 3rd Mass Battery.
and if we don't mind what he says. and
be good he will have us all courtmartialed 
and sent to the 20th Regt. The men have been
very quiet so far but we consider all this
as humbug and are anxious to have 
our case represented in the right light. and
to the proper authorities. if you will, use
what means appear to you the most efficient
you will have our thanks and I am author-
ised to say that any expense you may incur
will be paid by the members of Co. B.
