UNION AUTHORITIES.
pay, the State will make the advance, take an assignment from the
volunteer, and look to the Government to reimburse the State when
the regiment is mustered. This might occasion a little loss to the
Government from a few who might enlist but fail to be mustered, but
the facility it would give to mustering would more than compensate
for such loss. I think the Secretary of War better write authorizing
me to pay the month's pay when the volunteer is enlisted.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
CHS. S. OLDEN.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., July 3, 1862.
Governor HOLBROOK,
Brattleborough, Vt.:
Please send your new regiment here immediately. We will give
them on their arrival here the Springfield musket, which I under-
stand they prefer.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
BRATTLEBOROUGH, July 3, 1862-6 p. m.
E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War :
Cannot send Ninth Regiment immediately as you request, because
the delay introduced by change of mustering and disbursing officer.
Without the change regiment could have left next Monday. With
it there will be delay of week or more. Before regiment leaves the
officers of companies must be settled with for recruiting and subsist-
ing of men, so they can settle and pay what they owe for assistance.
When we undertook to raise you troops we did not expect this embar-
rassment.
FREDK. HOLBROOK.
MADISON, WIS., July 3, 1862.
Hon. A. LINCOLN,

Governor Salomon has gone to Cleveland on call of Secretary
Seward. We have been called upon for only one regiment, and'are
raising it as rapidly as possible.

men ? Can get better men and more expeditious. Answer to Coving-
ton, Ky.
