Dear Sir:
We arrived here this morning at 9 o'clock. Two of our men took sick at the Forks last Night. We hope to reach Charlotte Tomorrow night unless something unluckily turns up. I hope Sir you will do something about exchanging Brown, for one of those cadets
in Wilmington. I think you ought to in a manner express your displeasure of their treatment of Lt. Orrell. I find I shall go twenty miles out of my way by going by Charlotte.
