McPherson, in full: "Their are complaints of officers turning families out of their homes to occupy them themselves. It may be well to call their attention to orders published at Holly Springs last year which limits the officers who are entitled to quarters and also to orders which leave it to the Quartermaster's Dept. to assign quarters. I do not know if the complaint is well founded only two having come to me of Cols. who were selecting well furnished homes for their own use."
