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

		Privates		25	11	17	27	26	7	7	10	8	3	18	19	169
		[total=178. the co.D entry is written over another number. co.I could be '5'. My best guess is that co.D = 28 and the total = 179; this would make sense of the totals]
		Recruits

[the co.D and I entries, and the total, are written over other numbers. the total looks like '266', but is very hard to read]
[I think that co.D=37 and the total=266]
