they can be, it is earnestly recommended that these stoves be put up in the hold of the vessels and the smoke led off by pipes and fires made in them, once or twice in the twenty-four hours, which will assist ventilation, as well as serve to keep dry the interior of the transport.

The above suggestions are respectfully offered to your notice and although they by no means embrace all that is necessary, yet if they are any assistance to the commanding general in his arduous duties and responsibilities, my object will be gained. I have the honor to be, Most respectfully,

Your obedient servant,

R. S. SATTERLEE, Surg., U. S. A.,
