In regard to the other point presented in your letter, I agree with you that the commanding officer of a military district can assume no command over the enrolled State militia until the same is brought into the service of the United States.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

General-in-Chief.

Washington, September 29, 1862.I. The Department is informed that certain general officers of the volunteer service, on being relieved from their commands or transferred from one command to another, have occasionally carried off with them the soldiers employed as clerks or orderlies at their former headquarters. Not only had they no right and should have known better than to do so, but it was wrong in their superiors in command to permit it; nor will it again be permitted.
