COLONEL: I have the honor to call your attention to the following
extract from the report of Captain H. W. Hall, A. I. G. First
Division, on the camps of the Third Brigade:
_Extract_—“The camps of the Eighth Kansas and Twenty-fifth Illinois
are the best in the Division. These regiments vie with each other in
excellence in every respect, and are models worthy of imitation for
any troops with which it has been my fortune to associate.”
