Massachusetts (Massachusetts, United States) (search for this): chapter 24
h our present small number, our regimental organization will be almost extinct and if then recruited, it will be almost entirely a new regiment. We are receiving no recruits at present but it is believed that if the regiment could return to Massachusetts, that by the exertions of its officers and men, assisted by the State authorities, it would be able in a few weeks to take the field again with six or seven hundred men, if not with full ranks. We, therefore, respectfully request that you ask leave of the Secretary of War to call the regiment to Massachusetts for the purpose of recruiting its thinned ranks.

Hooker determined upon a fresh movement, he had an army in perfect condition. On April 6 there was a grand review before President L
