CONSOLIDATED MORNING REPORT of The Ninety first Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers commanded by Colonel 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.

		[co.A's entry is written over another number and is very hard to read. Given the total "present" entries, I suspect co.G=12 and the total is 135, although the actual numbers total to 136.]

Total enlisted			3	34	16	30	23	28	20	17	19	15	16		[221]
[Given the actual numbers, co.G=18 and the total is 222. The aggregates presuppose 17 and 221. Since one private is present sick, while the 30th has zero, I suspect one too many privates are reported present for duty.]
