HEADQUARTERS SIXTH ARMY CORPS,
Near Manchester, Va., May 22, 1865.

Colonel GEORGE D. RUGGLES,

Assistant Adjutant-General:

With the exception of some detachments, the corps is assembled at this point, and I propose commencing the march to Washington on Wednesday morning. Please designate a camp for the troops and indicate the point at which I shall cross the Occoquan.

H. G. WRIGHT,

Major-General.

HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF THE NATTOWAY,
Petersburg, Va., May 22, 1865.

Major-General ORD,

Richmond:

I have put General Ferrero in command of the Sub-District of the Roanoke. If you have not otherwise disposed of it the county of Charlotte ought to belong to that sub-district. It cut the district nearly in half and crosses the railroad, which would almost bisect the district of the county belonging to it. A point on the railroad within the county would be the best place for headquarters for the district commander, and a depot for the district. For these reasons I would like to have it assigned to the sub-district. I can get along very well now without Colonel Martindale, if you should want him for anything. If not, I will assign him to the command of the city. Please answer as soon as possible.
