[June 19, 1863]
There is a partially
organized regiment of Colored troops in your corps. Please order them together
with their women and children to proceed at once to Chickasaw Bayou Landing,
where they will go into Camp and furnish such details for fatigue duty as may
be required in the Commissary, Ordnance and Quartermaster's Department at that
place; and at the same time complete their organization.
