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
