Letter written to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on January 1, 1862.

The Deserters of The 14th Regt.

           The following letter from Corporal Carlton of the Fourteenth Regiment 
explains itself, and shows beyond a doubt that great injustice has been done to 
at least two men of his company who have been advertised as deserters:

 
                                                    CAMP MARION, Jan 1, 1862

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle:

                                  The issue of your paper of the 28th inst. Containing 
the list of deserted soldiers of the regiment is before me.  I beg to call your attention 
to the names of Wm. Blake and James Pugh, quoted therein.  Both of these parties are now 
here, the former lying at the Brigade hospital and not expected to live suffering from an 
attack of brain fever.  The later fulfilling his duties as becoming a soldier.  

                                  By giving this a place in your valuable paper you will 
do but justice to the accused, and oblige yours, 

                                                   N.E. Carlton
                                            Corporal Co.E, 14th Regt. N.Y.S.M.
