Disrupting Fifth an Army problem division orders cited
Letters from Col Frank Wood and Brig Gen Henry Hill address Quincy citizens about efforts to disrupt the Fifth regiment. Wood argues the plan breaks up the unit into multiple brigades and trains, while Hill replies that no company is destroyed and he cannot support moving the Fifth into another brigade. The dispute centers on restructuring by the 33rd division under General Bell and temporary comandante Todd.
