Gov Robinson
It is not only right that troops who have been in actual service should be mustered in as if their ranks were full but also that the families of those who have fallen should receive the same benefit as if there had been an actual muster, orders will accordingly be given to the mustering office to muster in all who have been in actual service as of the date in which they entered actual service this I understand to be the wish expressed in your telegram of this date, accounts have just receivached us of a great battle & brilliant victory over the rebels near Hagerstown by our forces against Genl Lee
Edwin M Stanton
Secretary of War
