Numbers 2. QUARTERMASTER-GENERAL'S OFFICE, FIRST DIVISION Washington, D. C., October 17, 1865.

Bvt. Major General M. C. MEIGS,

Quartermaster-General U. S. Army, Washington, D. C.:

GENERAL: In compliance with General Orders, Numbers 39, Quartermaster-General's Office, dated July 1, 1865, I have the honor to submit the following annual report, embracing the operations of this division for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1865, together with general statements of operations up to the present date, as required by circular from the Quartermaster- General of the 24th of July, 1865:

My annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1864, was forwarded to the Quartermaster-General, from this division, on the 27th of September, 1864.

During the last fiscal year, and up to the present time, I have been stationed at Washington, D. C., continuing to perform the duties of chief quartermaster of the Cavalry Bureau, to which I had been assigned, by order of the War Department, on the 27th of December, 1863, relieving Lieutenant Colonel C. G. Sawtelle. In addition to these duties I have, since the 2nd of August, 1864, performed those pertaining to the office of colonel and brevet brigadier-general in charge of the First Division of the Quartermaster-General's Office, having been assigned, by order of the War Department, to these duties at the date just mentioned, under the act of Congress of July 4, 1864, to provide for the better organization of the Quartermaster's Department.
