Soldiers' Home,

July 21.

To Governor John Lee Carroll, Camden Station, Baltimore:

General Thomas M. Vincent, Acting Adjutant General, has been ordered to send to your aid any available force, especially artillery, from Fort McHenry, which it is hoped may prove very useful. If General French can be spared from West Virginia he will be sent to your aid. Address any further communication to-night to General Vincent, who has full authority.

GEORGE W. McCRARY, Secretary of War.
