The general commanding also requests that you will promptly take such steps as you may deem necessary to inaugurate more perfect security and a better administration of affairs at the post of Martinsburg, as complaints continually reach him of the manner in which the business is conducted there by the present commander. It is desired, further, so soon as the three Ohio Regiments arrive at Harper's Ferry, your notify General Kelley of the fact, informing him at the same time that the general commanding confidently relied on the disposition of these troops indicated by the Secretary of War, viz, that they would be stationed at Harper's Ferry, to be used there or at adjacent points in any emergency that might arise.
