Immediately on the arrival at Atlanta I directed the quartermasters of the Fourteenth Army Corps to draw the estimates of clothing and forage required, I having forwarded a special messenger from Kingston, Ga., to Lieutenant A. L. Coe, acting assistant quartermaster, Second Division, Fourteenth Army Corps, with the estimates and orders for Lieutenant A. L. Coe to draw the same and have everything ready on our arrival at Atlanta. The issues were made with such dispatch that twenty-four hours after our arrival the clothing had been issued to the troops, and all wagons were loaded with the necessary supply for a forward march.
