Order requiring soldiers to have a pass approved by Grant himself if away from camp at night, but no pass at all is required to leave camp during the day. Hopes that his leniency on the latter issue will lead to obedience on the former. Two days earlier Grant had been made a Colonel and put in charge of the Twenty-first Illinois infantry regiment. Grant soon whipped the notoriously rowdy regiment into much better fighting shape. Written at Camp Yates.
