WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, D. C., December 7, 1862.
Major-General McCLERNAND, Springfield, Ill.:
Your letter of the 2nd instant reached be yesterday. Your
proposed change of organization and equipment requires careful
consideration and consultation with the General-in-Chief and
Quartermaster-General before it can be approved, and also
information from other heads of bureaus. I will have the
questions determined as speedily as possible; but you will
take no action on the subject until you receive instructions.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
