HEADQUARTERS % RECT MIN VoLs,l
In the Field, July g. 1864.
To Colonel Oscar Malmros, Adjutant General
Of Minnesota:
GENERAL:-I have the honor to report the
arrival today of seventy-eght (7S) drafted men
and substitutes, who were accidentally found
in the detachment barracks at Chattanooga on
the 3Oth, by an officer of this regiment Capt.
Cilley), and were by him brought out to the
regiment today.
The men have been assigned to companies
and taken their places in the works within
easy range of the enemy's rifles.
The men look well considering the fatigue
of their journey, and go on duty with cheer
full readiness which promises, under the cir
cumstances, to make old soldiers of them in
snort time.
Recruits learn fast under fire. Thosewe en-
listed last spring are already veterans: the.
had the advantage, however, of three week
drill at Ringgold, before the active campaig
commenced. while now we are in the front
with but little opportunity OF instructing new
men in the first lessons of soldering. "
The regiment will muster now, OF officer
| and men, about 400 present; the detachmen
OF new men nearly replacing in numbers tn
men who were on the 23rd ordered to Chatta
nooga Tor discharge at the expiration of thei
term of service. .,r as
lam not without hope that by additional re
Inducements the organization of the regimen
may be maintained; without them. the dis
charge OF men by expiration of term of service
will soon reduce it below the consolidation
limits. - -t'' f1''a : -. r-~91 -.
Lam very respectfully your obedient seryt.
