CULPEPER, VA., March 30, 1864--10 p. m.
(Received 11. 40 p. m.)
Major General H. W. HALLECK, Chief of Staff:
I think it advisable that governors of States and commanders of all Northern departments be notified to forward to the field all recruits, new organizations, and all the old troops it is possible to spare from their departments, with the greatest dispatch. They can strip their department to the lowest number of men necessary for the duty to be performed. All veterans should return to the command to which they belonged, except when specially ordered otherwise. All recruits and new organizations from Ohio and States east of it I would advise ordered to assemble at Washington, and those from States west of Ohio to be rendezvoused at Louisville. This of course would not apply to recruits raised for particular corps.
U. S. GRANT,
Lieutenant-General.
