Martha's letter was as full in relation to our march as any I could write, and I will add nothing to it. Before my arrival reports of depredations by Nordstrom's command had reached Dist. Hd. Qrs. and I was questioned closely about what I had learned in relation to the matter. I was afterward called upon for an endorsement on a complaint against Co. 'L'. and finally verbally directed by the Comdg. Officer here to make a report of the circumstances in [strike] regarding the conduct of 'L.' Co. which came to my knowledge while on the march here. I concluded it would be but to make the report in the form of a letter to Regimental Hd. Qrs. and did so. It has been forwarded by the Dist Commander thro' Dept. Hd. Qrs. to you. In my mind the matter is one requiring some action for the sake of the reputation of the regiment. I do not believe an officer of the style [underline] and action [underline] of Lt. Nordstrom will ever be anything but a breeder of trouble in his Co. and reg't. I was ashamed, [underline] disgusted, and made angry by the impression of the reg't he left along his march and much tempted to make my report in the form of charges covering the circumstances in the case. I think I was mistaken in writing that Capt. Gray had joined his company. I am told that he has been on a G. C. M. at Fort Smith, Ark. (as witness) ever since Co. 'L'. reached Arbuckel
