HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, May 9, 1864.

Brigadier-General WRIGHT:

I have no objection, in case you can spare their services, to permit General Sedgwick's aides, personal and volunteer, to accompany his remains.

Respectfully yours,
GEO. G. MEADE,

Major General GEORGE G. MEADE,

Commanding:

I should be glad to have the three regular aides, Major Whittier, Captain Beaumont, and Captain Halsted, accompany the remains of the general, and should freely consent to the others going also, did I not require their services. Indeed I cannot dispense with them.

H. G. WRIGHT,

Brigadier-General, Commanding.
