- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed H.W. Halleck Major General, Headquarters, Department of Missouri, to Governor H.R. Gamble. I am doing all in my power to prevent outrages of the kind you refer to [in your letter of the 24th], but the want of organization and discipline of the troops, and the inefficiency and bad character of many of the volunteer officers are such that I cannot yet entirely prevent them. I think we are daily improving in this respect and I hope, in time, to have them under more wholesome restraint. (1 page), 1861 Dec 26
