Through this vagary the provisions drawn from the vicinity of Manassas and the neighboring counties of Loudcy of the army, was persisted in, notwithstanding General Beauregard's earnest remonstrances, and embarrassed and clogged the conduct of the whole campaign.

Brodle, to my entire satisfaction, and it is proper to say that the entire medical
