ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Washington, D.C., February 1, 1861.
Major T.H. HOLMES,
Eighth Infantry, Commanding Fort Columbus,
Governor's Island, N.Y.:
SIR: About twenty women and children from Major Anderson's command at Fort Sumter are on their way to New York, and application will probably be made to receive them at Fort Columbus. Should this be the case you will please make them as comfortable as circumstances will permit, and give rations to such as are properly laundresses of companies. If better quarters can be thus secured to them they can be sent to Fort Wood.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
S. COOPER,
Adjutant-General.
