Major-General George G. Meade to John Sergeant Meade*, January 6, 1864

Headquarters Army Of The Potomac, January 6, 1864.

We have now at headquarters Collis's “Zu-Zu” Regiment, commanded by one of the Bowens, Collis being in command of a brigade in the Third Corps. They have a fine band, one of the best in the army.

A good many of the old volunteers have re-enlisted — more than I expected — and if Congress allows the bounty hitherto paid, many more will re-enlist.
