Consolidated morning report, 91st PA, 10 December 1863

[previous report (9 Dec) | next report (11 Dec) | search & display multiple days]

[I have proofread this page.]
[I am unusually uncertain about my corrections, because of the large number of apparent mistakes in company D. But this is one reasonable way of correcting the numbers to reach the totals, and fits well with the preceding and subsequent reports.]
[I have changed the format to improve legibility.]
[Numbers in square brackets and with grey shading are missing or illegible in the manuscript.]

CONSOLIDATED MORNING REPORT of The Ninety First Regiment of Penna Vol. Infantry 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.
