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.
