Pierpont] Wheeling May 9 1862. By Telegraph from Raleigh 9 1862. I am informed that the members of Co F first Va Cavalry have selected W Angelo Powell formerly Engineer attached to Genl Rosecrans staff for their Captain Vice Wm A West dismissed. I have no official notice of Capt West's dismissal & my information of the action of the company is also irregular. their action of course only a recommendation of which you [page 2] will probably get notice by mail. I would not advise acting upon until you are satisfied that it is maturely considered. Capt Powell would make a good officer but I hear there is dissention within the company.
