Barnes, Surgeon General—who, permit me to add, is precisely the right man in the right place—I dispatched the following reply:

" 'Sir—your telegram is received. Large provision has already been made by the Surgeon General and the various sanitary commissions to meet the requirements. I have
" forwarded Mrs. Brainard and Miss Wheelock, with three assistants and twenty boxes of sanitary stores, to Fredericksburg, on the 10th instant. The Surgeon General directs me to say that he will accept the services of ten experienced surgeons, fully equipped for ten
days' service in the field. Direct them to report at this office. I have made provisions to have them forwarded. '
