- Transcript: Gov FH Peirpoint [Francis H. Pierpont] July 25 1861. By Telegraph from Grafton 25 1861. Have only known him as a Lieut of cavalry here serving chiefly on scout & picket duty found him to be faithful courageous enterprising correct in deportment & habits & very intelligent. My impressions are that he would make a good colonel but I may not have sufficient opportunity to judge. Chas W Hill Brig Genl 52w761col [page 2] Genl Hill Grafton July 25
