25th La

On August 19th, 1863, Gen H W Allen writes the Secretary of War "that the President has no objection to ordering all of the officers & soldiers of the following Louisiana regiments to report to Col Allen, at Alexandria (that is, all of them now west of the Ms River), to wit: 3rd, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, & 31st Regiments Louisiana Volunteers & the Pointe Coupee battery giving him full powers to recruit the same, or, if necessary, to consolidate the small regiments into larger ones."

August 20, 1863- Orders were then accordingly issued-
"Such of the men belonging to the 3rd, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, & 31st Regiments Louisiana Volunteers, paroled at Vicksburg & Port Hudson, as have gone on furlough to West La, will be reassembled at Alexandria, under the supervision of Gen H. W. Allen. By command of the Sec of War:"

Why is the 25th Louisiana included in the correspondence and orders?
