HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
April 10, 1865.

Major-General HUMPHREYS:

After will be sent to report to Major Cochrane, assistant quartermaster (who will be found at these headquarters), to transport captured and surrendered ordnance stores. The train will, however, be arranged so that not more than eighteen boxes are carried in a wagon. The train (exclusive of empty wagons before mentioned) will be assembled at 4.30 o'clock this p. m. by the side of the road at the rear of the corps between Third Division and sixth Corps, and as soon as assembled will move to Burkewille Junction by the way of High Bridge. Brigadier-General De Trobriand, commanding Third Division, will detail a regiment of about 500 men to accompany the train. The commander of this regiment will take charge of the train and regulate the march. He will be
