pay from the date of muster out. The One hundred and forty-first
Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers arrived here on the 30th ultimo
and has not been paid. They were mustered out on the 28th and
left Washington on the 29th. I learn it is proposed to pay them until
and including the 27th. If it can at all be done, I wish much it could
be. It would add so much to the satisfaction of the officers and men
going out of service. I only arrived in the night, and have not
learned the reason of the delay in the payment. There are now seven
regiments here, and I fear that it will be some time before they will
be paid off.
