I have just received telegram from General Gillmore notifying me of the arrival at Orangeburg, S. C., of cavalry regiments sent there from my command, and that no more cavalry is wanted in that State. The regiment is 700 strong. General Grant directed me to send 2,000 men. Please inform him of the above, and ask if I shall do anything more in the matter.

General Wofford requests me to forward the following:

CARTERSVILLE, June 29, 1865.

The country through which the armies passed, from Chattanooga to Atlanta, is without corn or money. If the Government could loan or sell on credit 30,000 bushels of corn if would prevent much suffering and enable the farmers to complete the cultivation of their corps.
