第 127 頁 - Your line of march brings you in on the enemy's right flank.

I found part of Cox's command under orders to take the cars; will halt it with Franklin until morning.
第 176 頁 - ... pay to the United States, in money or in property, to be levied by military force, the full amount of the pay and subsistence of the whole force necessary to coerce the performance of the work during the time occupied in completing it.
第 160 頁 - Tell me what you wish me to do, and I will do all in my power to accomplish it. I wish to know what my orders and authority I are. I ask for nothing, but will obey whatever orders you give. I only ask a prompt decision, that I may at once give the necessary orders. It will not do to delay longer.
第 159 頁 - I shall endeavor to hold a line in advance of Forts Allen and Marcy, at least with strong advanced guards. I wish to hold the line through Prospect hill, Mackall's, Minor's, and Hall's hill.
