Quartermaster-General in Washington. He will prepare all his surplus trains of wagons and teams laden with such property as may be required here, and which might as well be allowed to follow in the rear of the last troops marching from Richmond to Washington, with a view to a concentration at the latter place or Alexandria. Captain Strang will at once see that transportation by water is provided for the General Field Hospital of the Army of the Potomac to Alexandria. The property of the quartermaster's department pertaining thereto, for which he is responsible, will be transferred to an acting assistant quartermaster now on duty at the hospital.
