as possible ; and after leaving Fredericksburg, no one 
will be permitted to leave the train beyond a short 
limit. 
“ Mr. Cremony will take charge of the ammunition, 
inspect the arms, and report in what manner every man 
is armed. Economy must be used in the ammunition, 
as the quantity in the train is limited. 
‘‘ As there is onejornada of seventy miles without 
water, and we may suffer inconvenience elsewhere, 
every man who has not already provided himself with 
a canteen or gourd, will do so before leaving Frede- 
ricksburg. 
“ In case of any difficulty or accident to the wagons, 
it is expected that every one will lend all the aid in his 
power to remove it, and hasten the movement of the 
train. 
“ Mr. E. C. Clark, the acting quartermaster, will 
arrange the encampments and direct the distribution of 
the forage. It is absolutely necessary that there 
should be an equal distribution of corn, and no one 
will be permitted to take more than is assigned or 
delivered to him. On this depends the safety of our 
animals, and consequently our own. A limited quan- 
tity of corn can only be taken, and great economy must 
be used in its distribution. 
On coming into camp, holes must be dug for the 
fires, which must, when the ground permits, be placed 
in hollows, or beneath a hill, in order to conceal the 
encampment as much as possible.
