Boys from the Mass 28th get into trouble in Dedham Ma.

A letter from the Adjutant General's Office to Gov. Andrew, dated 1/13/62.
"In compliance with orders, I went on Saturday morning to Dedham and gave to the officer in charge of the county jail the pardons of Patrick Gaines (CO. F & Roxbury) & Thomas Moriarty (CO H & Chicopee), privates in the 28th Regiment, M. V. who had been confined for felony crimes. 
The men were taken to the Camp in Cambridge & delivered to Lieut. Moore. "
The second page of the letter is missing so it is not signed and  no mention is made of what the crimes were. The events in the letter would have been 1/11/62. Who knows how much time these two men would have spent in jail if the regiment was not leaving the state?
