III. o. S. HEISTAND,
Assistant Adjutant General"
1t is supposed at headquarters that the
need for clothing is more urgent than tina.
for additional food or fuel. Each regiment
in camp came to Falls Church equipped
with ten days field rations. which are not
yet exhausted But almost none Of them
came here fully supplied with shoes or
underwear or socks. These latter articles
are therefore to be distributed at once.
Slips containing the number of articles
needed were submitted to Major Marin
at Dunn Lorng this morning. He will
issue shoes first, uniforms second and
other articles of wearing apparel after
ward. The issue will probably take several
days, as many CT the commands, notably
the 9th Pennsylvania, the 159th Indiana
and the 18th Pennsylvania are in need of
almost everything. When ordnance is
issued the TIN Ohio will require a COM
plete outfit except about fifty guns held
for guard duty.
Food is being shipped to the supply sta
lions indicated in great quantities Captain
John Little, in charge of the commissary
department, will shortly be prepared to
issue 100000 field rations, consisting of
fresh beef, mutton, flour, soft bread,
beans, potatoes vinegar and salt and pep
per. The wagon secured yesterday will be
used to transport the quota for each regi-
ment as rapidly as possible, so that no reg
iment will have exhausted it's supply of
field rations before the new issue.
