OFFICE COMMISSARY-GENERAL OF PRISONERS,
Washington, D. C., January 21, 1865.

Maj. Gen. GEORGE STONEMAN,
Commanding Department of the Ohio. Louisville,Ky.:

GENERAL: I have the honor to inquire if Charles E. Marshall, son of General Humphrey Marshall, of the rebel army, is held as a prisoner within the District of Kentucky, and whether as a prisoner of war or political prisoner or under sentence? If under sentence, I am authorized to request that he be immediately released and forwarded under proper guard to Lient. Col. John E. Mulford, agent for exchange of prisoners, Fort Monroe, Va. If held as an ordinary prisoner of war or political prisoner, he should be reported to this office and retained as such.

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

H. W. WESSELLS,
Brig. Gen., U. S. Vols., Inspector and Com. Gen. of Prisoners.
