Brig. Gen. C. P. STONE,
Chief of Staff, Alexandria:
GENERAL: Colonel Irwin being unwell. I am directed by him-to
acknowledge receipt of your note of 30th March. Colonel Holabird
left here yesterday on the Laurel Hill. Captains Hawes and Mahler
have been informed of the importance of immediately forwarding all
available light-draught steam-boats, and both have assured me that
they are doing all that they can in this matter. Captain Mahler re-
ports that the steam-boats Shreveport and James Battle will leave
for Alexandria this p. min., at 4 o'clock and 6 o'clock, respectively;
that the Sallie Robinson and Mittie Stevens are coaling preparatory
to immediate departure for the Red River, and the Red Chief, Star-
light, and Louisiana Belle are undergoing necessary repairs, on the
completion of which they will be loaded and sent at once. I am also
directed to inclose copy of telegram sent you this a. m., informing
you that the steamer Laurel Hill left yesterday afternoon without
the headquarters mail, and stating the reason therefor; also copy
of the pass held by the orderly charged with the mail. Colonel Irwin
further directs me to say that he will have this matter thoroughly
investigated at once.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
