The muster out of troops and return to civil life of the men who had
been hardened soldiers was attended with difficulties. The men often

Lieut. Smith:
I have sent four companies of infantry and a detachment of
cavalry to report at Camp Carroll at once. They will be
provided with ammunition. Find Colonel Johannes, 11th Md.
Infantry, if you can, and direct him to take command of all
reinforcements and enforce order in the Camp and neighborhood;
if Colonel Johannes is not there, see the senior colonel at
the Camp and impart the order to him.
Brigadier General Lockwood has been ordered to proceed to Camp
Carroll at once and take command.
