Unknown to Max Weber, May 14, 1864

MARTINSBURG

Brig. Gen. Max WEBER, Harper’s Ferry: All the troops who have arrived are encamped in A-tents. The shelters are required for the troops ordered to move. My regiment is here, except one company, which will arrive to-night. We have a few defective arms. Can an officer be ordered to inspect them, and the ordnance agent send some on to replace them as soon as convenient ?

R. 8S. RODGERS,

Colonel, Commanding.
