C.], Apr. 25-26, 1863, in part: "…it is reported that our army corps is to be divided and sent to various places in this department…it is thought by the officers that the spring campaign is about over. I hope it is [so] for we shall not have any more marching…[April 26]…our retreat with [General] Spinola was a fortunate thing for us. Washington is all right now…there seems to be considerable feelings against Gen. Hunter. It is the opinion here that he will be removed…another discharge has been granted to a member of our comp. Corp. hood of Hanson. He lost his power of speech and can speak only in a whisper…Morton." The original stamped transmittal cover is included. VG
