Seventh Connecticut Infantry Colonel Joseph R. Hawley (Hawley's Brigade) writes to Rev. Jacob Eaton, West Meriden, Connecticut, to tell him that, given the choice for chaplain between him and Rev. Mr. Holmes, and knowing nothing of either of them, the regiment had chosen Holmes. Holmes has gone off with the cavalry, thus is not able to be called. Eaton should come as quickly as he can. One bust engraving of Hawley included as collateral.
