Diary of William Francis Bartlett: Monday, July 1, 1861

Palfrey came to me and said, “Charley Peirson has been offered the adjutant's office for the Twentieth Regiment. If he does not accept it, would you like it?” I was rather taken aback. I told him I would accept it if he thought me capable of qualifying myself for it. He said he thought I was.
