Authorizes Hamilton to make his Brigade Head Quarters with his Wisconsin regiment. Must have been written during 1861, since this was the only year during which Hamilton would have been in the vicinity of Maryland and under Bank's command during the month of December. Banks resigned from the army in April 1863, and in December 1862 he was serving in the Western theater.
