To HI. Exceilency Gov. Yates:
The prompt and patriotic response of
your State to the calls of the President
have far exceeded the calculations of this
department. Arms will be forwarded as
soon as possible. Ordinary tents are out
OF the question. There is no cotton to make
them. The Quartermaster, on YOUR
requisilion, will pruvide board or barracks,
or any other shelter that the soldiers can
supply. The men should, if possible bring
their own blankets, as it will save the ne
cessity OF their purchasing them from the
government, and their 81 thing allowance
in money will receive the benefit Every
possible exertion is being made to manu-
taeture all other came equipage, and it will
be furnished as rapidly as possible
