General Morgan writes to Major Reed, assistant adjutant general in General Joseph Wheeler's Corps. Reports that he placed Colonels Duke, Cluke, and Chenault under arrest for neglect of duty for failing to forward a certificate called for in General Orders No. 4 from Corps Headquarters (possibly referring to Colonels Basil Wilson Duke, Roy S. Cluke, and David Wilson Chenault). Also dropped two soldiers' names from the rolls. Morgan claims the soldiers were often absent, and were captured behind Union lines without leave.
