HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
Washington, D.C., February 20, 1861.
Lieutenant Colonel HENRY L. SCOTT, A.D.C., &c., New York:
See Captain Ward, commanding the North Carolina, receiving ship, and ask him to get his squadron ready as soon as he can, and let you know how many recruits he will want in addition to his marines; learn, also, what subsistence stores he will want, including a good quantity of desiccated vegetables; also coals, &c. See that he is supplied with everything for Anderson. I shall write to-morrow. No time now. Afraid of the wires.
WINFIELD SCOTT.
