CAMP NEAR MEMPHIS, Aug.
14, 1862.
Your letter of the 8th inst. was received two days ago, and just
while I was preparing to act as Chief of General Sherman's Staff in a grand
review to be made of Hurlbut's division. To-day our brigade, which is
considered the crack brigade of the army here, is to be received; in this I
have, of course, to lead my regiment.
