Frank p Delany, Co +, 14th Wis, Early,
| Iowa, SAYS that the hummer of the Fourth Di-
vision, Seventeenth Corps, is correct in stating
| that the bummers captured Fayetteville, n. c.;
! but he thinks it would sound better to the
bummers of the Third Division, Seventeenth
Corps, if he gave them just little bit of credit
for assisting the Fourth Division bummers in
capturing the town.
