success of this campaign, been compelled to bear the odium of such conduct. But by a proper attention to this class of duty (foraging), which may at any time became the most important in an army, there is no reason why its dignity should be less conspicuous than its importance.

I have also to call especial attention to the inclosed list for promotions.

I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

W. B. HAZEN,

Major-General.
