CONSOLIDATED MORNING REPORT of The Ninety first Regiment of Infantry Penn Vols commanded by Colonel [blank]

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=44; co.B=23; co.C=45; co.G=33; total is correct. Since the aggregates match the reports of the 26th and 28th, and assume the totals given above, I assume the detailed numbers above are off.]
