Granville Moody, Colonel Commanding, 74th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Camp Lowe, Xenia, Greene County, Ohio. To Governor William Dennison. Letter stating that on January 7, they completed by consolidation the sixth company for the 74th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that he left a requisition for arms for four companies and hoped Dennison would approve it, that Lieutenant Colonel [Alexander] Von Schrader, the bearer, would be present and could give the regiment the benefit of his superior judgement and select the best kind of arms on hand, that he was painfully convinced that unless Dennison could attach two companies to the regiment from some other part of the State, it would be a long time before the 74th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry would reach even the minimum, that by reference to their daily reports, Dennison would see that they had made slow progress even though they had stretched every nerve and pressed on with vigor, that on January 8, they reported only 647 men, that from this number they must deduct 80 enlisted in the artillery company which did not count in their regimental organization and left them only 567 men, that he had filled some eleven appointments in the last eight days to aid mostly in recruiting, that he understood from Dennison at the beginning of this enterprise that when the time for consolidation arrived (December 16), the 74th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry would be aided by the addition of a company or companies in completing its minimum number at least, that their church stewards so understood the matter and proposed to continue his salary until by said organization his remuneration would come from the Government, that it was very mortifying and embarrassing to him to be a pensioner upon their bounty whilst actively engaged month after month in the service of the State without any remuneration, that if by any honorable means Dennison could give them aid, they would be thankful for it as they were for the many favors already granted, that he was offered 30 men by Lieutenant Colonel Constable last week in Dennison's office, they being a "surplusage" on consolidation with Colonel McLean's regiment, but Adjutant General [C.P.] Buckingham refused to grant them even that amount of aid saying that he wanted them for another regiment, that he hoped Dennison would be able yet to aid them in this interest before he left the post of power, that Judge Dunlevy of Lebanon, who promised them so confidently one if not two companies from Warren County, had utterly failed them having sent but 19 men, that Clinton County, through Captain Strickle and Judge Baldwin, had sent only 18 men to Camp Lowe, that so great was the difference between promises and performances, and that Judge Dunlevy wanted [Henry M.] Cist ousted to put his brother in the Adjutancy without delivering on his promise of one or two companies; requesting that Major [Alexander S.] Ballard be mustered into the service of the United States in the 74th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry as they now had six full companies in Camp Lowe; and stating that Ballard had labored long and hard to organize the regiment and deserved his well earned position, that he hoped Ballard's commission would be dated back to the time of his appointment so that he could receive his just remuneration, that he was highly pleased with Ballard as a man and as a field officer, that Dr. [E.W.] Steele had given him assurances that he would for the future abstain entirely from the use of intoxicating liquors, that on the basis of these assurances, he hereby renewed his recommendation of Steele for the position of Surgeon's Mate in the 74th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and that he hoped Dennison's future would be bright and serene. Bears an endorsement dated January 9, 1862, of Lieutenant Colonel A[lexander] Von Schrader and Major A[lexander] S. Ballard, 74th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, for the appointment of Dr. Steele of Xenia as Assistant Surgeon for the regiment.

C.H. Scribner, Mt. Vernon, Knox County, Ohio. To Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham. Letter stating that he felt a highly estimable and worthy gentleman had been most deeply and grievously wronged, that since the 43rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry was quartered at Mt. Vernon and acting under his commission as a member of the Military Committee of Knox County, he had done what little he could to promote the interests of the regiment and to assist in filling its ranks, that he still felt a very great interest in the regiment's success, that it appeared to him that one essential requisite to this was the preservation of harmony among its members by the prompt discouragement of all measures which might tend to create dissatisfaction in the ranks or foment dissensions among the officers, that he had known [James] Marshman well for a number of years, that Marshman was a gentleman of character and ability, that Marshman was well worthy of Buckingham's confidence and there was no reason why he should not receive the treatment due a gentleman, that Marshman had labored faithfully, expended money freely, and was eminently successful in recruiting, and that Marshman was promised the position of Captain and fairly elected to that position, and had received his certificate in due form; asking why then should Marshman be displaced; and stating that it was not pretended that Marshman was incompetent nor was it suggested that Marshman had done any act unbecoming a gentleman or a soldier, that Marshman was nevertheless disgraced, that this was in the face of the pledges upon which Marshman had acted and upon which he had the right to rely, that while absent on duty, intrigues were set afloat by interested parties to Marshman's prejudice, that at a time when Marshman could not defend himself, while reposing confidently upon the pledges and promises which had been made him, steps were being taken to effect his removal, that he did not charge, because he had no reason to think so, that either of the field officers were in any respect cognizant of such unsoldierly conduct, that instead of being encouraged with success, it would seem that such conduct should receive the most pointed condemnation, that he did not know if a civilian had a right to interfere in matters of this character, that where a friend had received treatment which upon its face appeared so glaringly unjust, he must be accorded the privilege at least of expressing his opinion to that effect, and that he trusted Marshman would be restored to the rank to which he was so justly entitled.

Welch, now in the 13th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and absent at home at Athens on leave, for the place, that Welch was leader of the band in the 13th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, but had distinguished himself in the Carnifex [Ferry] fight for his coolness and bravery, and that he thought Welch would make a useful, competent officer.

G[eorge] B. Gardner, [60th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry (one year's service)], Camp Mitchell, Ohio. To Colonel [Noah H.] Hixon. Letter enclosing two muster-in rolls of his company; asking Hixon to take these rolls to the Adjutant General's office; and stating that the reason he troubled Hixon was that the Adjutant General wrote Major [Joseph K.] Marly that there were but two muster-in rolls of their regiment (those of Captain [John L.] Hill and Captain [Philip] Rothrock) at his office and that they would receive no pay until all were in, that it was true his muster-in roll was not there for the reason that it was the duty of the clerks in the Adjutant General's office to make them out from his enlistment rolls and to send them to him for signature which they had not done, that there were three copies of his enlistment rolls in the office at Columbus, the original roll and two alphabetical copies and the nomination for company officers, all of which he sent about December 25, and that he knew they were received as he had gotten his appointment as Captain.
