91st Pennsylvania Infantry, 7 February 1863 consolidated morning report

Date: 7 Feb 1863 to 7 Feb 1863
Location: Falmouth, Stafford, Virginia, United States

[This is a transcription of the consolidated morning report from 7 February 1863, for the 91st Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry]

[source: Regimental Descriptive Books and Consolidated Morning Reports, 91st Pennsylvania Infantry; National Archives and Records Administration, Record Group 94]

[See 91st Pennsylvania Infantry, Consolidated Morning Reports.]

[The remarks include explanations of some continuing absences, for example, Colonel Gregory's. Perhaps consolidated morning reports had not been filed before, or not for some time.]

[Company G has a crossed-out '1' under 'First lieutenants' present for duty. The totals suggest co.G had no first lieutenants.]

[Company E has four commissioned officers present for duty, not 3, and the regiment has 19, not 18. Since the report from 8 February has only 1 second lieutenant present for duty in company E, with the same number of officers present and absent, company E should probably have only 1 second lieutenant, and the totals are probably correct.]

[The total number of absent enlisted men should be 210, which is consistent with the aggregates.]

[The company D and H totals work only if recruits are counted elsewhere (co.D) and non-commissioned officers on extra duty are counted elsewhere (perhaps that's why they're not counted in the total column).]

[The two officers in field & staff who are absent without leave are assistant surgeons Thomas Thomas and John Young]

CONSOLIDATED MORNING REPORT of The Ninety First Regiment of Inft. Pennsylvania Volunteers commanded by Colonel Colonel [sic] Edgar 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.
