Schenck, Robert Cumming, 1809-1890
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Edward D. Townsend
Brigadier General Schenck writes to Assistant Adjutant General Townsend from Camp Ewing, to request a duplicate of an order he had misplaced. A note at the top indicates that there were originally two orders, one no. 139 and the other an endorsement on a letter. The note is written and initialed by Townsend. Says "The order issued to me from the Head Quarters of the Army on the 7th Sep. last, to proceed immediately to report in person to Genl. Rosecrans, has been mislaid. I want it as a voucher in the settlement of a question of transportation with the Quarter Master." Written at Camp Ewing.
