officials are exceedingly laborious, and of a very trying nature, and I regret that I have so long trespassed upon your time but a thorough statement at once presents the trouble of repetitions, and for this reason I have written so profusely. Could we earlier have had a little more attention paid our regiments in the field from the general government, and material aid from our congressme] whose cares are comparatively light, many of our present troubles might have been obviated, but the calamity since its commencement has gradually assumed new and more alarming features, until now it has become a monster which it is in a moment difficult to decide how to handle, and we must and can only learn by each bitter experience, and what an army composed largely of volunteers most requires from time to time I admit is difficult to anticipate, in order to keep all the wheels constantly in motion.
In Haste I remain very respectfully yours
