Arrangement of Relative Rank & Importance of Chaplains
Description
Hamilton informs Col. Rice that the arrangement of relative rank does not meet with his approval. There is no provision in the law for chaplains but he believes that divine services for the men are important so he has written to the Secretary of War on the subject.
