sometime during the coming week. As affairs on honors are easy as regards Major, altho I am not entirely suited I think Captain Chaplains commission had better be forwarded as soon as convenient. He is quite popular with the regiment, and will I doubt not succeed in his new military vocation.
We have in our lines inside the fort quite an intelligent rebel prisoner taken by the pickets this morning. He has given us a vast amount of information, but we prefer not to swallow as truth all he feels inclined to impart. We send him to Washington in the morning. Nothing [operatively?] new at the Seat of War.
With much respect I remain yours hastily
Col. Chas W Roberts
