2671 - L. July 16:1/3 - In a letter to the editor, "General," Camp 65th
Regiment O. W. M., New Marietta, Ga., says:
"I will write to the Secretary of Columerce and complain about the
allowance of mail being cut down. Things are quiet around here until
the order comes to draw rations, which always causes a commotion.
"The Commissary Sergeant is a very popular man in the Regiment as
long as he has a good supply of rations. "Our hearts are sad as June
closes with the loss of twenty-six men from our regiment, including two
officers. Capt. Williams, of Mount Vernon, killed, and Lieut. Colonel
Whitbeck from Berea seriously wounded. Orders were just received to
move to front line." - (11)
