decided to authorize no more regiments, as they lessen the number
of men to go to the old regiments; but if a regiment of three-years'

for drafted men because General Montgomery refuses to approve of the requisitions
in the absence of instructions. What am I to do?
Difficulties of same character occur here, and I beg of you to give
