Question: Letters written to and from Lieutenant Russell, acting adjutant???, of the several regiments stationed at New Creek, a part of the Railroad Division and dated December 1862 are signed: Lt. MJ. Russell AAAG 2nd Div DWV Questions: AAAG - Acting Adjustant General? Acting Assistant Adjutant General? What? Also, I'm wondering why these official letters (which are on file at NARA and from which I copied the above) are signed 2nd Div DWV - The bill forming West Virginia was signed by Lincoln on December 31, 1862, and the Department of West Virginia was not formed until March 1863 according to Boatner. Ideas, anyone? Thanks for any help?
