Rufus Ingalls to Daniel Butterfield, June 19, 1863

Maj. Gen. D. BUTTERFIELD, Chief of Staff, Army of the Potomac:

GENERAL: I have the honor of transmitting herewith a statement showing the number of officers and men, cavalry and artillery horses, and means of transportation with thisarmy. It is compiled from the last reports received from the different commands, the date of which is noted. Some of the commands at the present time have less than the amount found in the statement, on account of troops being discharged from the service and their transportation turned in.

Your attention is respectfully called to the reports of the First, Second, Eleventh, and Twelfth Corps, which show the amount present on the 1st day of June. The number of officers and men may nok Mey exactly correct, but the number of animals and wagons is reiable.

_ By comparing the amount with the different corps, above named, it will be seen that the Eleventh Corps is more liberally supplied with transportation than any other corps in the army. ” I inclose

Cur, XXXIX_] CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.—UNION.

herewith the report made by the chief quartermaster, which shows in detail how the transportation is distributed. When you have sages this report sufficiently, will you please return it to this office.

I think it will be correct at the present time to place the number of wagons now with this army at about 4,000.
