Thayer's Note:

a Lt. Fleming was dismissed for multiple embezzlements, thefts from civilians and enlisted men, lying to his commanding officer in order to obtain leave, and related offenses. General Court Martial Order No. 52, Army General Orders 1877, may be found online, in all its sordid dreariness, embedded in H. R. Executive Documents, 1st Session, 48th Congress, pp117 ff.
