Was transferred to the Corps of Invalids and has been stationed on Castle Island in Boston Harbor. Writes, "As Mr. Hinds represents that Meritorious class of Man, the Wounded and disabled Soldier, - (If his application is founded in Justice) I am sure, you will be happy to give him every assistance, in your power."
