Orders, No. 143, gives the disposition of the troops without giving the particular companies. General Haskin also desires that the Eight Company Massachusetts Artillery when it reports will be assigned to Fort Stevens, and that the Eleventh Company be assigned to Fort Slocum. Let the Eleventh Company remain as it now is, at Slocum and Stevens, until Eight Company reports, when the whole Eleventh Company will be sent to Slocum.

Very respectfully,
