CONSOLIDATED MORNING REPORT of The Ninety First Regiment of Inft. Pennsylvania Volunteers commanded by Colonel Colonel [sic] Edgar M. Gregory
NOTE.--Regimental and Battalion Staff Officers, when belonging to companies, will be reported in such companies as "on detached service," and be accounted for in "Field and Staff." They will, however, be dropped from aggregate of "Present and Absent" in Field and Staff, and be accounted for in the aggregate of their respective companies.

Capt Casner sick in Quarters Lieut Milligan absent without leave Sergt Johnson [presumably William J Johnson (K)]
B. J. Tayman Adjutant.
Jos H Sinex
Capt Commanding the Regiment
[The two awol officers in field & staff are assistant surgeons Thomas Thomas and John Young]
[Company G has a crossed-out '1' under 'First lieutenants' present for duty. The totals suggest co.G had no first lieutenants.]
[Company E has four commissioned officers present for duty, not 3, and the regiment has 19, not 18. Since the report from 8 February has only 1 second lieutenant present for duty in company E, with the same number of officers present and absent, I suspect company E should have only 1 second lieutenant, and that the totals are correct.]
[The total number of absent enlisted men should be 210, which is consistent with the aggregates.]
[The company D and H totals work only if recruits are counted elsewhere (co.D) and non-commissioned officers on extra duty are counted elsewhere (perhaps that's why they're not counted in the total column).]
