Breakup of Provost Guard

Dear John,

Could you elaborate on this statement "When Featherston resigned,the Provost Guard was being broken up at Petersburg"?

Are you specifically stating that the provost guard of the 9th Alabama was being broken up or are you stating that the provost guard system of all of the Confederate units at Petersburg were being broken up at this time? If the provost guard system was being changed in the ANV at this time, I'd be very interested in any details.

Thanks,

Jim
