ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE, Washington, D.C., February 1, 1861.'

Major ROBERT ANDERSON,
Commanding Fort Sumter, S.C.:

MAJOR: The President deeming it unnecessary longer to detain Lieutenant Hall, he will start this afternoon for his post. By him I send this letter to inform you of the receipt of your several letters, up to No. 26, inclusive.

The matters pertaining to Colonel Hayne's mission not being yet fully determined, I am unable to say more from the Secretary of War than that your course in relation to the tender of provisions from the governor of South Carolina, and in all other matters which have come to the knowledge of the Department, is approved to the fullest extent.

I am, &c.,

S. COOPER,
Adjutant-General.
