CONSOLIDATED MORNING REPORT of [blank] Regiment of [blank] 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.E has 0 commissioned officers present, but I suspect the 1 1st sgt should be a captain (see above), which would make this number correct. Co.F has only 1 commissioned officer present, but should probably have an additional 2nd lieutenant, which would make this total correct. The total above is 17, but 19 is probably correct.]

[co.E has 36 enlisted men present, but I suspect the total is 35; see above. The total is 274, but 273 is probably correct.]
