The company was messages to the war department inquiring why the salaries of the officers and men had not been sent to Frankfort. A reply was received Saturday evening, which among other things inquire* where Hospital Company No. 2 is located, and what it is doing. Replies were sent containing the information that the company had been mobilized at Frankfort for several weeks, awaiting further orders to proceed to Hattiesburg, and that the war department had supposed the company was in training there.
