XII. ABSTRACT OF TOWN REPORTS ON THE BEHAVIOR OF RETURNED SOLDIERS.
At the close of the war the happy thought occurred to Adjutant-General Schouler of addressing a circular to city and town officers, inquiring as to the conduct of the returned soldiers, some of whom, it must be remembered, had then been at home for several years. This circular was as follows : -
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE, BOSTON, Dec. 9, 1865.
To the Selectmen of.
GENTLEMEN, - As a matter of public interest, I am endeavoring to ascertain what proportion, if any, of the returned soldiers belonging to your town have been guilty of any crime since their return home; or whether their habits have been better, or worse, than they were before they entered the army.
I have sent a copy of this to the chairman of each board of selectmen in the State; also to the mayors of the various eities, and to others. My purpose is to gather the senti- ment of the State in regard to our returned soldiers. My opinion is that, as a body, they are as good men now as they were when they enlisted in the service of their country.
I intend to use the information I may obtain upon this interesting subjeet in my next annual report, which I am now engaged in preparing.
