Description
Chamberlain recommends various individuals for promotions within the regiment and announces his assignment to command the 3rd Brigade.
"I regret being thus obliged to leave even temporarily the noble Regiment with which I have shared so many hardships & perils, & not a few honors too; but I shall have it still under my eye, & in my care, & shall spare no effort to maintain its high & deserved reputation."
