of his experience in defending forts against ships. General Shoup is still without a command, because there is no vacant command within my department which was appropriate or agreeable to him, and because General Hardee has applied for him to command a vacant brigade in the field in the Army of Tennessee, for which General Shoup had expressed his preference.
On the 23rd of November, without any application from me subsequent to that of September 9, General Moore was ordered to report to me. I have placed him in command of the eastern and western districts of this department and desire to retain him.
So far as I can recollect or ascertain, neither General Moore nor General Shoup has been applied for or assigned as chief of artillery.
I inclose the application and orders relating to the case.
I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
DABNEY H. MAURY,
Major-General, Commanding.
