Gov Peirpoint [Francis H. Pierpont] Wheeling May 4 186. By Telegraph from Fairmont 4 186. I think our regiment should be relieved a large number of men are here whose business is entirely suspended & at a heavy sacrifice I find it almost impossible to resist their applications for furloughs & yet to grant them makes dissatisfaction elsewhere. I do not believe the bridges on this end of the road are now in any danger order us home if possible T.H. Logan 65W218col m[in pencil]
