PHILADELPHIA, April
20th, 1½ A.M.
GovERNOR ANDREw,
71 Charles Street, BosTON
Another despatch says all but 120 of Jones regiment have
arrived at Washington. This I do not credit. My first despatch was right — its
details can be relied on. I would respectfully suggest that the Boston Light
Artillery, with their horses and entire equipage for field duty, be put on ship
board as quick as can be done, and the importance of this movement will be made
quite apparent as soon as it is accomplished.
