Summary:
Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin writes General C. P. Buckingham in October,
1862, to notify him that rendezvous points have been established at Chambersburg
and other places.
Gen. C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
HARRISBURG, PA.,
October 22, 1862.
I have established rendezvous at Chambersburg, Gettysburg, and York, and will appoint commandants. These are points on the border, and we are receiving too many here-more than we can provide for. Unless ample power is given and the officers of the United States are active the men will suffer.
A. G. CURTIN.
