THE FIFTEENTH REGIMENT
Camp, Near Fredericksburg,
May 12, 1863
Friend Baldwin---Having commenced my new movement with the army
of the Potomac, I thought a few items concerning our Worcester
county regiments, as I come in contact with them, might not be
unacceptable. This will account for the enclosed statement of
the companies connected with the 15th. I have
obtained them to correct many erroneous views and to give the facts
in the case, concerning the entire number of men connected with it
from the outset up to the present time. The army are in good
spirits and ready for another move..
Yours very respectfully,
Wm. G. Scandlin;
Agent of the American Unitarian Association.
