army. You are also directed to see that the bridge train is well sup-
plied with all necessary material, and that it is put in the best possible
condition as regards its transportation, &c.

LETTER. Goldsborough, N.' ., March 24, 1865.
There can be obtained for this command at Kinston five days' rations.
There are also at the same point boots, shoes, and other quartermaster's
stores for this army. Corps commanders will send, as soon as possible,
all wagons of the supply trains and at least one-third of the wagons of
the ordnance train (securing the ordnance unloaded from them in the
best possible manner), to Kinston, in charge of the chief quartermaster
of the corps, and bring forward these supplies. It is suggested that it
would be better to send the trains in detachments and upon different
days, rather than all at one time. The mounted organization of each
corps will accompany the trains and guard them through. Corps com-
manders will use every exertion to fully equip their commands with the
least possible delay.
By order of Maj. Gen. O. O. Howard:
A. M. VAN DYKE,
Assistant Adjutant-General.

Maj. MAx. WOODHULL,
Assistant Adjutant-General:
MAJOR: Your order to move trains is just received. 1 will, of course,
commence movement, but the supply trains are gone to Kinston and
not yet returned. I have kept on foraging all day, and most of the
ammunition trains are now out after the second and third load of forage
to-day, and will not be in till late to-night. I would be ready by morn-
ing to make a better movement.
Very truly, &c.,

of the river, with instructions to remain until all the supply trains of
the army corps shall have crossed the river, and in addition I left one
regiment of the Second Brigade, directing it to report to Lieutenant.
Colonel Fort for instructions. Crossing over, I moved forward to my
position on the New Berne road at Rouse's plantation, ene mile and aCHa. LIX.]
