was to communicate with the fleet any orders that might be sent from headquarters city of New York. On the morning of the 10th of November I visited the steamers George Law and the tin-clad Augusta, but nothing was needed on the George Law. The commanding officer on board the August informed me that he was entirely out of rations, but had sent an officer to obtain them. I have nothing further of importance to report.

I have the honor to be, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

GEORGE R. FEARING.
