Major O. D. GREENE, Assistant Adjutant-General:
I have the honor to report that I have ordered all the stores, sick, and prisoners at Lexington to be moved to Jefferson City by steam-boat, except forage and transportation, which will be moved to this station. The chief quartermaster is examining the depots at Sedalia and Jefferson City with a view to their removal and reduce the number in the district.

Major O. D. GREENE,
Assistant Adjutant-General, Saint Louis, Mo.:
A forage train of forty wagons from Springfield is at Sedalia with an escort of but 30 men. I respectfully request, if there are any men or detachments at Saint Louis destined for the southwest, that they be added to the escort, it being exceedingly imprudent to allow it to return with so small a force.

Brigadier-General, Commanding.

Saint Louis, Mo., June 21, 1864.Brigadier-General BROWN, Warrensburg, Mo.:
Your dispatch with regard to forage train from Springfield received. The general commanding agrees with your opinion that it would be exceedingly imprudent to start it back loaded with so small and escort. At present I know of no force from here for Springfield which could be added to the escort. When will the train be loaded and ready to start? If we can get the veterans of the Sixth Missouri State Militia ready in a week they may be able to join the escort, but otherwise you must increase the escort from yours.
