April 30,1861.
. . . I understand N. H. regiment is simply waiting for
orders to move. Vt. is waiting by reason of some hitch merely — though ready.
Maine, perhaps, needs a hint. Conn., I heard, days ago, was prepared with 2
regts. Can't they receive a word from you. — I really want to see them on the
march. But I shall start some more Mass. troops, without "waiting for
manners" much longer. And I doubt not those States are anxious for
orders. I know they are good and trusty.
