Governor, |

I annex as a part of this report, my first annual report
and render the recommendations therein contained, together with the
following additional ones. |

***** |

In the removal of this Department from Jackson of public
stores, though compelled to do so rather hurriedly, and having to ship
both north and east, it being impossible to obtain transportation on
any one Railroad, I have to report that we have been quite fortunate
in saving everything with the exception of a few articles of camp and
garrison equipage, and sacks, and some office furniture, which was
burnt by the Federals on their occupation of the city. |
