Excerpt from The War of the Rebellion, Vol. 34: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies; In Four Parts, Part III., Correspondence, Etc

The negligence of Major Haas' orderly cannot be received as a sufficient excuse. Officers in such cases must be held personally responsible. It Should be understood that when troo s are ordered to move they must go. If the senior commanding o cer is absent from any cause the next in rank must execute the order. I re ret to find that this is the same company that delayed several ays under a former order to move from Lawrence to Camp Coleman. You will please examine into this matter and cause charges to be preferred against all officers implicated in the non-compliance with the orders. You may also report at the same time an mitigating circumstances that may tend to excuse the neglect, as a so anything touching former good conduct and the general efficiency of the officers concerned.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, thos. J. Mckean, brigadier-general, U. S. Volunteers, Commanding District.
