Tells of Colonel Harland being asked to command a Brigade consisting of the 8th, 11th of Connecticut and 4th of Rhode Island regiments making him a Colonel Commanding with the powers of a Brigadier. Coit is very sad as Harland will have his offices away from the rest of the camp. Is not sure he will be offered a position in Harland's staff. Says the regiment is preparing to march and has made rations for a three day tour. Believes they are headed to Goldsboro.
