Please rectify the error :“I saw two Wisconsin regiments yesterday, tin* Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth,enlisted for one hundred days to do garrison 1 duty. Grant has brought them to the front, to do garrison duty before Richmond.“ Grant makes the band box soldiers tight I White collars and patent leather boots ate j ‘played out.’ lie fights his men for what they are worth.”Both the 37th and 38th Win.
