I know of no military organizations of any description in the State of Delaware, either mustered or ready to be mustered into service, other than what I have reported.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Honorable EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:
Honorable Francis B. Crowninshield undertakes to learn what can be done here about gun-boats for you (how soon and by whom). Will send information forthwith. Massachusetts shall serve you faithfully. Please telegraph me about what sizes and descriptions for a dozen gun-boats you contemplate. Probably you had best name a commission here to act for you ultimately. Massachusetts will begin an Ericsson without delay.
