each. One hospital tent will be allowed for office purposes at corps headquarters, and one wall-tent for similar purposes at headquartes of a division or a brigade.

XVI. A report of all property captured from the enemy or seized for the public service will be monthly to the chief of the department to which it pertains at these headquarters.

XVII. It has been shown by experience that the advantage of keeping up regularly organized pack trains is not commensurate with the expense. One hundred pack-saddles will be carried on the wagon train of each corps. Whenever it becomes necessary to pack officers' baggage, provisions, or ammunition for short distances over rough roads and broken country pack trains will be make up temporarily by taking mules from the wagons, not to exceed two to any one wagon.
