Writes of his promotion to Captain of Company B. Mentions that his new title reminds him of "another Captain Coit" (perhaps his father or another relative). The promotion means he gets his own quarters and he says he will miss bunking with the Field and Staff. Writes of his ill feelings towards the prospect of Colonel Rodman becoming Brigade General and says "Don't ever repeat what I write about another officer." Mentions the bothersome amount of insects and pests in North Carolina. Written from "Carolina City."
