Letters of General Joseph R. Hawley to Charles Dudley Warner, The Hartford Daily Times, January 07, 1930. Hawley's stay at the front after his furlough in Hartford and the stimulating experience of participating in the presidential campaign was comparatively brief. General Butler was ordered to New York to take charge of troops keeping order in the election and prevent deserters and former rebels from voting. General Hawley was ordered to take command under Butler and arrived in New York on November 6 with the 6th, 7th and 10th Connecticut regiments. The troops remained in New York until November 14 when they sailed back for the James Rivera movement which was interpreted in the North as presaging early activity on the part of Grant.
