Adjt. Gen. ALLEN C. FULLER,
Springfield, Ill.:
Were lieutenants appointed for enlisting and mustering recruits
in accordance with Order 75, and have they reported regularly? What
hinders the prompt organization of regiments? You have eleven
inspecting and mustering officers. Can the Government depend upon
50,000 volunteers for new regiments now enlisted in your State ?

teers called for July 2 being the same, if your volunteers for old and
