his regiment were insufficient and that
there vas much delay in getting re-
QUESTIONS filled. He thought there
was a sufficient quantity OF food. but
said some of the men YOU not eat

men had ever complained TO him as
surgeon of the regiment. and DIR. King
replied that they had.
What did you say to them?" asked
the general.
II told them to go to the devil and
eat what they had" replied he.
II think that a very improper re-
ply for you to have made" said Cen
eral Wilson. and he declined to further
continue the examination. DIR. Henry
III. Lee, major and surgeon of the Sd
brigade, first division, Sd corps, said
he a urged the removal of the camp

cred the water bad and because OF the
impossibility of getting deep inks.
Major Benson, who was inspector
general OF the first division. Sd corps

possible to enforce sanitary regulations

were arrested the courts would not
punish them. He thought the camp
site was good. but said some OF the
camps had been poorly located He con-
sidered the men who had located the
camps responsible for this state Of af-
fairs.

tailed the difficulties attending the
