Captain Morris Miller to To the Commding Officers of New York and Massachusetts Regiments, April 20, 1861

ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND, April 20th, 1861

To the Commdg. Officers of New York and Massachusetts Regiments

Having been entrusted by General Scott with the arrangements for transporting your Regiments hence to Washington City, and it being impracticable to procure cars, I recommend that the troops remain on board the steamer until further orders can be received from General Scott.

Very Respectfully,
MORRIS MILLER,
Capt. and A. Qua. Master
