CAPT. JONI II. PECK We have received
a letter from a member Of the 9Th Illinois
emphatically denying every charge made in
the letter OF Messrs. Steel and lierrck, against
Capt. Peck, the qualtermaster Of the 31th
Illinois regiment
In relation to liquor for the sick, the writer
says that the government does not furnish IL
quor to the quartermaSters, but that the pro-
per place to apply was at the surgeons quar-
tiers He says that instead OF Capt Peck
treating 1.-The shoulder strap men, +" as related
in the letter. the shoulder strap men treated
the captain But he says Capt p. did, on
the day that letter was. written get an order
on the Both Illinois for gallon of brandy,
and paid SO for it, out of his private funds,
and he says Capt. p. furnished Mr.. IIerrick
with quart Of 1t, and that ilcrrck never of.
fcred to pay cent for it. lie says Capt Peck
also fed their horses at his own expense. He
further says that Capt p. does credit each
of the men with the amount their due for short
rations, and that if they are not properly
clothed it is the contractors fault, and not
the quartcrmastcr's.
He further says that many Of the Rock
Island boys regret the publishing Of the lot
ter, and they advised Mr. Steel not to send it
home, for it was unjust towards Capt. ?.
