My foreign correspondence during all of the secession movement
has been entirely confined to the parties above alluded to. J. Carow,
of Liverpool, my brother in Scotland, and W. J. Gomez & Co., of
Havana, agents of the Bamberg-the latter being relative to the con-
signment above mentioned and to three pipes of linseed oil by same
vessel belonging to me and sold by them in Havana-from them I
have no reply to any of my letters.
I have had no contract for goods of any description with the Con-
federate or any State Government. If I have been acting wrong, it
was in the execution of my agency and the letters of Mr. Goodman.

patients may, under the direction of the Surgeon-General, be trans-
ferred in parties, but not in individual cases, to hospitals at the
North; and, as far as practicable, the men will be sent to States
in which their regiments were raised, provided U. S. hospitals have
