My Dear Governor,
I am credibly informed and believe that the Capt. and 1st Lieut elect of Company B in Falmouth are secessionists and were elected on their pledge to resist a draft, and that they and their friends actually threatened at the time of the election to resist by force any measures looking towards a draft.
The Capt's name is Lorenzo Mumfort and the Lieuts Ebenezer L. Huston. The Union men in that Company feel badly about it & will pay fines rather than do any duty under them.
They want the Commissions of these fellows withheld and the subordinates commissioned
