The new regiments sent to General Hancock since March 9 number 17,500 men. This is in addition to the First Veteran Corps, which has about five full regiments. Shall I continue thousand him other new regiments nearly ready at the North? Considering General Pope's apprehensions of an advance of Kirby Smith would it not be well to send to Arkansas have been sent to General Canby between October 20 and March 31. As General Reynolds is very destitute of horses would it not now be well to supply him?
