The amount of corn collected by the troops, now in the magazines, was only sufficient for two months' consumption at full rations.There was a spirit of general disaffection among the officers and troops.Although I had worked with them in every difficulty and led them invariably to success, there was a general dislike, not to me personally, but to the system of rigid discipline that I was determined at all hazards to enforce, and to the general object of the expedition.…Cited from Ismailia, by Samuel W.
