ORANGE, December 23, 1863.
Respectfully returned.
In a correspondence with His Excellency Governor Milton some
time since General Lee stated that he would send this brigade or a
part of it to Florida for the purpose indicated herein, provided a regi-

been received. The interests of the service will not allow that the
regiment be detached without an equivalent. All that can be done
is to send suitable officers to co-operate with the officers of conscrip-

situated. If the recruits or conscripts are in the State, it is thought
they can as well be obtained by sending for them as by sending the
brigade there to recruit them.

I called upon the Surgeon-General to report whether he had any con-
tract for the distillation of spirits in your State, and if so, the quan-
tity of grain required and the necessity for the supply. I annex a
copy of his reply:
