http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/221273415

General order of General Benjamin F. Butler, issued from the headquarters of the Department of the Gulf by George C. Strong, assistant adjutant general and chief of staff.

Clarifying that it was not its regimental colors but rather its camp colors that the regiment lost, the order states that the colors will be restored to the regiment.
