Scope and Content

This is a letter from Briscoe Baldwin to Captain Callender at the Benicia Arsenal. He is asking for a decision from the Captain on what action he is going to take against him.

NOTE: In the list of actions shown in the ledger in record 1994.007.0002, it shows that on 06/06/1858 "B.G. Baldwin was relieved from duty in compliance with orders from War Dept May 14, 1858".
