Coit writes that he had the pleasure of telling Major Pratt that news of his promotion had been published in the Connecticut newspapers. He writes that Pratt told him that he was the one who deserved the promotion and that he would decline it if it meant that George would accept. He has heard a rumor that he will soon be detailed as Aid at Division Head Quarters of General Devens. He reacts to news from home about the management of the family business.
