My dear Col,
We are all
feeling magnificently over the
conduct of “The Bloody 9th”
when you met the enemy at
Phillipi. “God help your
brave soldiers and their officers,”
is on the lips and in the hearts
of all.
Failing to see you at
Inds. when I returned from
Wash. or to meet you on
the road, I send you the
substance of the Presidents order
authorizing your regiments to be
mustered in for the war. This
I took down from his lips. The
order itself in Laec Verba has
Handwritten; 1 sheet, double folded, 3 sides of writing; white stationery with light blue lines
