most from typhoid fever. and asked him TO
designate which brigade should be moved first.
General Carpenter selected General Kline's com.
mand. which consists Of the I'd Michigan. the
9th Ohio and the ID Georgia
The exact date OF the removal Of these regi-

week they will be in their new camp unless

voked in the mean time The other brigades in
the Fourth Corps will follow in few days. with
