NEW YORK, December 15, 1864.
Honorable E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War:
SIR: I have the honor to forward an application of General Beall for assistance in the distribution of supplies to the Confederate prisoners of war.
It will be impossible to carry out strictly the terms of the arrangement at those prisons where there are no commissioned officers, and there seems to be an absolute necessity for making some other provision for such cases.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
HALBERT E. PAINE,
Brigadier-General.
