Lt. Barrett Q.M. of the 10 Inf who makes the report within is the officer charged with the transfer of the first detachment of prisoners from Huntsville to Leavenworth.

    He is an excellent officer, but this inspection was made without orders from these Hq. probably at the request of the authorities of the Huntsville prison.
