WaR DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF CONSCRIPTION, No. 2. Richmond, Va., January 18, 1864.
In addition to the copy of special orders detailing disabled officers and soldiers, furnished for the information of the Bureau, commandants will also forward to the Bureau a copy for reference to the commanding officer of the command to which such officers or soldiers belong.

By command of Col. John 8. Preston, superintendent:
