Consolidated morning report, 91st PA, 17 February 1864

[previous report (17 [?] Feb #1) | next report (18 Feb) | search & display multiple days]

[I have proofread this page.]
[The "unassigned men" includes detachments from other regiments, which are separated in the 19th's morning report]
[This and the previous report are undated. Since they report a similar number of enlistments etc., and since the men returned from veterans' furlough only on the 16th, I suspect they are both versions of the first consolidated morning report, from 17 February. Since this has fewer errors than the other, I have used the numbers in this report for the database of consolidated morning report statistics. In that database, I have excluded the "unassigned" men, who are only recorded in this and the next report]
[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 [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.
