7, 1862. General : — I have the honor to return the jio- pers herewith, which you sent me, with the fol- lowing reni!^-ks : We are embarking five batteries of artillery, with their horses, baggnge, etc., which requires the detailing of most of our available boats, ex- cept the ferry-boats. The medical departmen has 10 or 12 of our largest transport vessels which, if disposable, could carrj' 12,000 mm. Besides, thei'eare some heavy draft steamers at Fort Monroe, that cannot come to tliis point, ...but which can carry 8,000 or 10,000 infantry. I have ordered all up here that can ascend to this depot. Tiiey will be here to-morrow evening. As it now is. after the details already made, we cannot transport from this place more than 5,000 infantry. There are no transports now available for cav- alry. From and after to-morrow, if the vessels arrive, I could transport 10,000 infantry. In two or three days a regiment of cavalry can be sent if required. If you wait and ship from Yorktown or Fort Monroe, after the sick and wounded transports are at mj' disi)osal.
