Annotation

[1] AGO General Orders(not numbered), November 15, 1862; Navy General Orders No.5, February 10, 1863. The original is missing from the file of Adjutant General Letters Received (DNA WR RG 94) but a typewritten copy (P-1070 with 5706 AGO 1884) has been preserved. An account dated November 13 in the New York Tribune, November 14, 1862, records that ``Messrs. Fred. Winston, David Hoodley, Foster, Booth, and another gentleman, representing religious bodies in New-York City, called upon the President and heads of departments today to urge upon him the propriety of enforcing a better observance of the Sabbath in the army. The interviews are represented as agreeable and satisfactory.''
