Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The companies herein organized into regiments will be entitled to preference on any future call if their rolls are kept up to the minimum number required by the War Department, and in that view it is recommended that the enrollment be continued, where it can be done without expense to the State, but not otherwise.
The Commander-in-Chief regrets that the decision of the Secretary of War, as expressed in the subjoined letter, compels him to change his intention of immediately calling into the active service of the State the many patriotic volunteers who have so nobly tendered their services in defense of the union. He trusts, however, that the spirit of patriotism so remarkably manifested in all portions of the State will be kept alive ready to meet any future requisition of the Federal government.
