I have telegraphed to Governor Morgan as follows:
'rho recruiting service, including supplies of quartermaster's and ordnance stores,
subsistence expenses, and mustering of New York Volunteers, will be placed
entirely under your control. The details of the order will be transmitted to you as
soon as possible.
By order of the Secretary of War:

HIon. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:
I cordially respond to the President's call for troops. The bounty
of $25 should be paid as fast as a company (not a regiment) is
mustered in. Then the first ten companies may be massed into a
regiment, and so on. No effort ever has been, nor ever will be,
spared to meet or anticipate any wish expressed by your Department.
Always, faithfully,
JOHN A. ANDREW.
ALBANY, N. Y., July 2, 1862.
The PRESIDENT:
Is the call for 300,000 or for 200,000 volunteers ? It appears in all
the New York papers for 300,000.
E. D. MORGAN,
Governor of New York.199
