A part of tiese estimates msy appear high. bat
in reality they are net 50. The enorrOus recruit

should have iweIled the ranks Of the Amy higher
than this in spi.e Of the losses sustained which,
ali of them. fell upon tie % active bss..Ons Of
tie third, fourth, ffth and si1ih corps; ba, we
have allowed amply for the many recruits who de
before they reach their regiments. Besides. for
cavalry our estimate 10 very low.
OF tie above troops, 5000 men one division Of
the fifth corps are in tae Csue .,us sai must
