HEADQUARTERS, Baltimore, November 26, 1861.
Hon. WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.
SIR: I have the honor to inclose a list of prisoners at Fort McHenry on the 19th instant. No additions have been made until to-day. A man by the name of Coe has been sent there, but I am not prepared at this moment to report his case. It would be a great convenience if all these prisoners including Thomas (Zarvona) could be sent away.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN A. DIX,
Major-General.
