CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., May 24, 1862.
His Excellency JOHN A. ANDREW,
Governor of Massachusetts, Boston:
The propositions contained in your letter of the 22d are all approved.
Let the battalion of infantry at Fort Warren be recruited to a full
regiment and made ready to march as soon as possible.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
May 24, 1862.
Major-General MORGAN,
Albany, N. Y. :
The operations of the enemy in the Shenandoah may require speedy
re-enforcements. Please organize one regiment as speedily as possible.
The Seventh New York should also be in readiness to move if called
for.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
ALBANY, N. Y., May 24, 1862.
Hon. EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:
four dispatch received. The Seventh Regiment will move at short
notice when ordered. Its roll shows 900 men. A fair proportion can
be relied upon. I will also furnish the Government other militia
regiments, and have taken instant measures to learn how many and
of what strength. Militia regiments will prefer a three-months'
muster. Will they be accepted? Inform me fully of your wants.
They will be met.
E. D. MORGAN.
CONFIDENTIAL.] WAR DEPARTMENT,
May 24, 1862.
Governor MORGAN,
Albany :
A dispatch from General Wool says the rebels are reported to be
moving north from Richmond. If that be true we shall need re-
enforcements here. To that end three-months' militiamen will be re-
ceived in addition to volunteers for the war. Prudence requires that
every precaution should be used, and therefore your whole military
force, militia as well as volunteers, should be put immediately on a
footing to answer a sudden call.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
(Same to Governor Curtin, Harrisburg, and Governor Andrew,
Boston.)68
