Description
Letter from James D. Leitner to Adjutant General David Lang explaining how there came to be two companies from Alachua County vying for recognition as independent companies of the Florida State Troops. Leitner encourages Lang to recognize the Alachua Light Infantry headed by F. W. Cole rather than the company headed by W. W. Brown. According to Leitner, Brown had his permanent residence in another state, and many of the members could not or would not attend drills. He further suggests that Lang should not recognize Brown's unit because its officers are Republicans and too closely associated with the African American inhabitants of the county.
