Annotation

[1] OR, III, I, 862. Governor Andrew replied on January 11 that ``. . . if the Federal Government wishes me to organize those men into companies and regiments, and to appoint and commission officers. . . I will. . . undertake it. . . . But I must frankly say that there are names. . . whom to commission would offend both my sense of honor and of duty . . .'' (DLC-RTL).
