In reply to the inquiry of this day concerning the two men of this Regiment against whom charges have been preferred.

I have the honor to state that Burkett is under charge of the Provost Marshall Guard and has been since his arrest. [Since Charles Burkett was tried by court martial in December 1863, he is the Burkett, and not Elias Burkett]

Hood [presumably James Hood, co H] was also under charge of the Provost Guard until ordered by the Doctor to the Regiment on account of Sickness neither have done duty since their arrest.

I am Captain &c.
