Soldiers Of the 4rmy Of the Potomac:
For a long time have kept you inactive,
but not without purpose You were to be
| disciplined, armed and instructed. The for

created. Other armies were to move and ac-
complsh certain results have held you
back that you might give the death blow to
that rebellion which has distracted this once
happy country. The patience you have shown,
and your confidence in your General are worth
dozen victories. These preliminary results
are now accomplished. feel that the patient
labors of many months have produced their
fruit. The army of the Potomac is now a
real army; magnificent in material, admira-
bic in discipline, and instruction and excel
