HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
Washington, D.C., February 21, 1861.
Lieutenant Colonel HENRY L. SCOTT, Acting Adjutant-General, New York:
SIR: I inclose a copy of a memorandum made by Lieutenant Hall, showing what articles are required at Fort Sumter, in addition to the usual supplies of the Subsistence Department, which the General-in-Chief wishes you to take measures to procure and have transferred to Captain Ward of the Navy, if he can take them on his vessels.
Please also have prepared as large a supply of subsistence as Captain Ward can take, including desiccated vegetables and potted meats.
When the expedition under Captain Ward shall sail [time yet uncertain] he may require a detachment of from fifty to two hundred recruits, with or without officers, as he may wish. See that they are confidentially prepared for that service.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
L. THOMAS,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
