disposed of, and will be returned to your DIVISION. I will send you the necessary orders as soon as I can make them out. The general wishes you to scour the woods in the neighborhood of the recent battle-ground and get up all the arms to be found and everything in the shape of equipments. We have lost quite a number of arms, and the general wishes General Buford and yourself to make necessary details, and get up all that can be found on the field or at houses. Have written General Buford to that effect.

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

CHAS. W. ANDERSON,

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.

P. S. -GENERAL: Since writing this I have telegraphed you, and have not written General Bufford, as I intended, nor will it be necessary, as you can direct him in regard to getting up arms, &c. Have telegraphed Colonel Barnett to return the dismounted men to their various commands. His transportation he will return to those who furnished it to him. Will your order him to do so.

Respectfully,

C. W. ANDERSON,

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
