of 1ll4 The total number Of men at pres
en-. in the regiment is 1850. Hence 50 per
cent desires to be mustered out.
This contradicts the statements repeat

who desired to get honorably discharged
need only make his wants known TO him
(the major) and his wishes would be graf
ifled But when the Scanda was take,
away from the Seventh, applications 70.
discharge were so numerous that the willy
major stated that neither he nor Col
Berry could do anything for them and
was forced to admi: that the discharge
talk was merely bluff.
"It Is generally known both inside an6
outside of the regiment that nearly 90
per cent Of the men want to be mustered
out, now that the country has no longer
need for them. but yet the officers state
land they will not take the pains to find
out strange to say) that IS per cent desire
to continue the two years service.
"Thanking you for the interest you have
taken in our welfare, both in your efforts tc
