J[ames] A. Johnston, Captain, Company K, 75th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Headquarters, Camp Morris, Newburg, Virginia. To Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham. Letter stating that per Buckingham's orders, he started out the first part of January recruiting to fill up his company, that he was out for a short time over two weeks and had gotten a few recruits, that he then received orders to report immediately to camp as the regiment had marching orders for Virginia, that he did so and found himself in service with fifty-six effective men and no company organization, and that they were nonetheless looked upon as a company and obliged to do the same amount of service as any company in the regiment; asking if they would be recognized as a company at headquarters; and stating that he spoke more for the officers and men of his company than he did for himself, that in regard to his case, he held an absolute commission as 1st Lieutenant in the 75th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and supposed he could draw his pay, that the pay part of it did not trouble him much, that he did not think he could be accused of any mercenary motive in going into the service, that he gave up a handsome position in New York to go into the army and had now been in the service more than eight months without receiving as much as seventy-five dollars pay, that his troubles came from the unpleasant position he found himself placed in with the company, that the men had become very much dissatisfied because the company was not organized, that his officers thought, and justly since they had raised their number of men, that they should have their commissions, and that he hoped Buckingham would take the matter under consideration at once.

Letter stating that in accordance with General Order No. 1, dated January 21, they were sending a list of officers and men to be authorized as recruiting parties (if properly presented), that they sent the names of a commissioned officer and enlisted man for each company believing this would be the most expeditious and economical way to fill the regiment to the maximum, that these men had been selected with a view to their ability to recruit in Scioto County and adjoining counties, that they would await the Adjutant General's reply as to whether these men were to be permanently appointed and if the number was limited, and that if there could be only three or four officers for the regiment, they would suggest those named for Company F, Company G, and Company K, but they hoped it could be arranged as specified.

W.S. Lovelace, et. al. To Governor David Tod. Letter signed by thirty Union men of Montgomery County, Missouri; and stating that the 81st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry was now located at Danville in Montgomery County, that on or about December 25, 1861, said regiment found Danville in the greatest state of confusion, that the whole country for miles around was overrun with secessionists, that the Union sentiment was well nigh crushed out and entirely incapable of any demonstration in favor of the government, that the Union men of Montgomery County were as loyal as any people in America and had suffered much on account of their devotion to the Union, that they had learned with regret that some efforts had been made to remove the 81st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry from Montgomery County, and perhaps from the State of Missouri, for the purpose of recruiting, that if Tod had any power to prevent the removal of the 81st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry from Montgomery County, they asked in the name of the Union that said power be exerted in their behalf, that Colonel [Thomas] Morton had accomplished a great deal since he had been there towards clearing the country of rebels, but much remained to be done, that they were satisfied that no more efficient officer than Morton, or more effective men than composed his regiment, could be found in the army, that they believed no place needed the regiment more than its present location, that all the advantages which had been gained over secession (and they were many) would be lost by the removal of the 81st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry at that time, that they would suggest the regiment be permitted to remain there and hold its present position, one of the most important in northern Missouri, that the regiment's recruits should be sent there, that the regiment should be allowed to nurse the Union sentiment which was fast growing under its auspices, that no regiment in Missouri was doing more effectual service than the 81st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and that they entreated Tod to allow the regiment to remain where it was.

N[athaniel] C. McLean, Colonel, 75th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Newburg, Virginia. To Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham. Letter asking if there was no possibility of sending his officers their commissions; stating that they felt very anxious upon the subject and he hoped Buckingham would cut through any slight difficulties and gratify them, that Company K was not full at the time of their marching and it was still incomplete, that surely this should not interfere with the commissions when the officers of all the companies, including Company K, were there in an enemy's country and liable to go into battle any day, that they were to march the next day to some point in General {Frederick W.] Lander's division, although the place had not yet been named, that he was simply ordered to prepare three days' cooked rations and to be ready to march at a moment's warning, all of which he had done, that he expected to receive positive orders in the morning, that under these circumstances, there seemed to be no chance to recruit Company K to completion, that unless Buckingham could order some twenty-four men from Ohio, he did not see any relief for the regiment, and that the marching orders stopped Captain [James A.] Johnston from recruiting and he was now there with his company (K) doing duty; asking if Buckingham could send all the commissions and relieve the officers in regard to this matter; stating that some or all of Company K was now in a state of excitement over the statement, supposedly made upon Buckingham's authority, that none of the men could receive any pay until the company was completely filled, that these men felt they were doing their duty with the balance of the regiment and not to be paid with the rest would be hard indeed, and that if this should be the actual fact, he could not expect anything else but great difficulty and perhaps a refusal to fight or serve until they were placed upon an equal footing with the rest; asking if Buckingham would not prevent even the chance of such trouble by having this matter made right not only with the men but also with the officers; and stating that it was a matter of great importance to all of them.

Jesse H. McMath, Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio. To Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham. Letter written on behalf of Mathew K. McFaddin, a Private in Captain [Christian L.] Poorman's company, 43rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Camp Andrews; and stating that McFaddin, a resident of Harrison County, joined said company at St. Clairsville, Belmont County and at once commenced to recruit for the company in Harrison County, that he raised thirteen able-bodied men now in camp, that after said company reached Camp Andrews, an election for company officers was ordered, that Poorman was elected Captain and had since been commissioned, that McFaddin was elected 1st Lieutenant by a majority of thirty votes and it was apparent that he was the first choice of his company for said position, that in the face of these facts, Colonel [J.L. Kirby] Smith had since procured the appointment of D.W. Williams of St. Clairsville to the 1st Lieutenancy of said company, that Williams was not at the time of the election nor until after his appointment, a member of said company, that Williams did not aid in any way to recruit said company while McFaddin, by his personal industry and influence, procured thirteen recruits and was duly elected 1st Lieutenant of said company, that he humbly, but earnestly, insisted upon the appointment of McFaddin as 1st Lieutenant in said company, and that justice should be done to those who bore the burden of recruiting for the Army of the United States.

C.D. Martin, Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio. To Governor David Tod. Letter stating that as the Adjutant General had ordered the transfer of two companies from the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry to the 43rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, he took the liberty of calling Tod's attention to the subject, that the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry was in an encouraging condition of forwardness and, if not interfered with as proposed, would soon be filled and ready for duty, that Colonel [Newton] Schleich had labored very diligently and expended largely of his private means in collecting an unusually fine body of soldiers and maturing arrangements which would in a short time fill his regiment to the required number, and that upon a full presentation of the case, he was confident Tod would suspend and rescind the order of transfer and thereby do justice to Schleich and others interested in building up the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry.

Letter stating that his friend, Colonel [Newton] Schleich of the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, having received an order from the Adjutant General of Ohio to transfer two of his companies raised in Fairfield County to another regiment, was visiting Columbus with the view of suggesting, if not incompatible with the public interest, a reconsideration of said order, that Fairfield County already had one regiment in the field and had been gratified for some time past with the prospect of being able to place a second there in a very few weeks, that they were both commanded by young men who were to the "manor born" and who entered the legal profession through his office, that in common with the community, he could not but feel some local pride in the identity of these regiments with Fairfield County as well as in their general success and future fame, and that while he would ask for nothing that was wrong, he would certainly be pleased if their officers and men could be suffered to remain together and to share with each the destinies, whatever they might be, of the future.

Edward H. Phelps, in camp near Waitsboro, Kentucky. To General Delano. Letter stating that since his previous letter regarding certain officers in their regiment [38th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry], these officers had changed their plan and recommended Moses R. Brailey for appointment as Major, that Brailey was of the same stripe as these officers, that if Brailey was placed in said position, he would assist these officers in their scheming operations and make trouble which would soon destroy the regiment, that Captain [William A.] Choate was an honest, faithful, efficient officer, and was entitled to the promotion by seniority, that Choate was the choice of 4/5 of the officers and men of the regiment and was recommended by the General commanding and himself, that Colonel J.B. Steedman had written a letter to the Governor which placed the matter in its true light, that they were now across the Cumberland, that General [Albin F.] Schoepf informed him that Colonel [Edwin D.] Bradley had resigned and that Schoepf and General Thomas were going to recommend him for Colonel, and that Bradley had resigned on account of his health and some other reasons which could not now be given.

John Reber, President, W. Medill, John B. McNeill, and R.M. Clarke, Military Committee of Fairfield County, Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio. To Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham. Letter stating that having been shown a dispatch dated February 3, 1862, from Buckingham to Colonel [Newton] Schleich, transferring the companies of Captain [Peter] Hewetson and Captain [Peter] Brown from the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry to the 43rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, they urged Buckingham to revoke said order, that the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry was undertaken to be raised at Lancaster after Fairfield County had done its fair share towards contributing men for the suppression of the rebellion, that the companies transferred were both raised in Fairfield County at much trouble and expense, that they were recruited for the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry in which Lancaster took a local pride, that the officers of the regiment had spent much money and had been unremitting in their time and attention, that there were now six companies in camp, that from reports by letter from recruiting officers, enough men were ready to be reported in camp to form two additional companies, that from the rate of progress indicated by these letters, they felt assured that two weeks more would fill up the regiment, that having this number of men and given such prospects, it would be unjust to the regiment and its officers to take two companies from it and thus reduce it below the point at which companies, under what seemed to them a fair rule of consolidation, ought to be attached to it instead of taken from it, and that while the officers of the companies named would be duty bound to promptly obey the order, they would have some difficulty in reconciling their men to a transfer from the regiment for which they enlisted and in which they had acquired an esprit du corps, and did not wish to injure the service by destroying the regiment; and requesting that the order might be revoked and that their regiment be permitted to fill up as originally intended.

N[ewton] Schleich, Colonel, 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Headquarters. To Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham. Letter stating that Buckingham's dispatch of February 3, 1862, transferring the companies of Captain [Peter] Hewetson and Captain [Peter] Brown to the 43rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was received, that if the good of the service, of which his superiors were the judges, required the transfer, he would cheerfully submit, that he was, however, submitting reasons to induce Buckingham to revoke the order, that they currently had in camp six organized companies, two of which numbered 93 men each with the others above the minimum, that in addition to these, Lieutenant Bostwick reported on January 30, that he had 63 men and was progressing at the rate of 6 to 10 men a day, that Lieutenant Black and Lieutenant Counsellor reported 30 men on January 29, and were progressing finely, that Lieutenant John Ganett reported 10 men and asked for 20 uniforms, that Captain Hewetson reported 12 recruits, that there were two other recruiting officers who had not made reports to him, that they had men enough to organize eight companies the moment they were in camp, that they had prospects, as recruiting was now progressing, of soon being full, that he had spent about $400 in the raising of the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that nothing had been spent on pay nor was he able to draw any until the regiment was full, that the transfer of the companies in question, by postponing the time of the regiment filling up, would be seriously felt by him, that he mentioned this not as a reason to control the public action, but as a consideration which he begged might have weight if the public exigencies did not imperatively demand the transfer, that if the 43rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry had eight companies and lacked only two of being full, they had men enough to place them in the same position and could call them in and organize them in a few days, that he felt assured that his regiment was as well prepared for the field as any other regiment now forming, and that if the object was to prepare regiments nearest full for immediate service, the 61st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry stood in the same condition that the 43rd Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry did.

A[lvin] C. Voris, Lieutenant Colonel, 67th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Camp Lander. For Colonel [Otto] Burstenbinder, Commanding, 67th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. To Sir. Letter transmitting a statement of facts relating to Lieutenant [Gustavus W.] Fahrion and his connection with Captain [Charles A.] Rowsey's muster rolls; and stating that Fahrion was mustered as a recruiting Lieutenant on or about October 4, 1861 for the 41st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was transferred to the 45th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and on December 18, 1861, was transferred to the 67th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, that upon consultation with Burstenbinder, they agreed upon the persons from the 45th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry who should receive recommendations for appointments to the line offices, that in pursuance of said agreement, Burstenbinder made his recommendations to the Adjutant General of Ohio for appointment, that Fahrion was not recommended for an appointment for reasons which then appeared good, that shortly afterward, he received a note from the Assistant Adjutant General (Colonel [Rodney] Mason) requesting him to meet at the Adjutant General's office and explain the reasons which led to making some of the recommendations, that he met with Mason and Fahrion, that upon explanation, Mason did not see fit to change the recommendations previously made, that Mason wanted Fahrion to receive pay for his services as recruiting Lieutenant and suggested that his name should go on the muster roll as a 2nd Lieutenant and that he should resign as of December 31, 1861, with Lieutenant Miller's appointment to take effect from that date, that the arrangement appeared to be an equitable one, that as he was an indifferent party, he felt glad that a way was provided for Fahrion to get his pay, that when the muster rolls were being done, he requested Rowsey to make his rolls out so as to show the facts as indicated, that he supposed Fahrion had resigned as recruiting Lieutenant, that Fahrion's appointment as recruiting Lieutenant had never been confirmed so as to make his appointment absolute, that the understanding was distinctly announced, that Fahrion was to resign effective at the time limited for making the pay rolls and this was understood to be December 31, 1861, and that he supposed the Adjutant General's office was the place to make the resignation as the regiment was forming under the jurisdiction of the State authorities and had not yet left that jurisdiction. Bears a note from Fahrion concurring in Voris' statements so far as they related to him.
