"I have the honor to request that 25,000 copies of General Butterfield's work on Camp & Outpost Duties for Infantry may be furnished to the Army of the Potomac with the least possible delay. I have examined the book & am sure that it will prove of much greater value to the service than many times the amount of its price. I ask that the first issues be made to the Army to which the General belongs."
