has been taken of my conduct even by the 


most bitter enemy, since I had left my 


former station. For I had been laboring with 


all my power day & night to get into 


proper shape the business of our Regiment 


that had been so terribly confused by the 


administration in power during my illness 


that we might be in condition as soon  


as we could get partially clear of the  


large sickness by measles to ask  Genl 


Rerencrans to send us to some field of active

authority he heard such information upon, as
