‘I have had Massachusetts regiments under my command for the last few months and they have won my complete confidence. The Fifteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth are regiments that your state and our country have every reason to be proud of. I have found them well disciplined, with arms in good order, efficient in outpost duty, steady and perfectly reliable in action. For myself, I state it with perfect sincerity, I ask no better troops.’
