ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND,
April 20th, 1861
To the Commd.g. 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
