...Governor Edwin D. Morgan. The correspondence dates between April 15, 1861 and March 1, 1862 and was originally filed among the Inspector General's Administrative Correspondence Files, 1859-1875. The Executive Chamber probably forwarded these copies to the Inspector General in order to keep him informed of current events or because they dealt with matters which required his attention. According to the 1863 General Regulations For the Military Forces, one of the Inspector General's major responsibilities was to attend to the organization of the militia. This is what the bulk of this correspondence is concerned with. A large portion of the series dates from April 1861, the first month of the Civil War, and deals mainly with the organization, supply, and disposition of state militia and volunteer units. This part of the series may be the most interesting for it reflects the urgency of the period through letters expressing concern that Washington and Baltimore will shortly be captured by Confederate forces. The remainder of the series is somewhat more routine and deals with subjects of an administrative nature. These include the supply of ammunition to troops, courts martial, pardons, and the granting of commissions. Arrangement Chronological by date of correspondence. Conditions Governing Access There are no restrictions regarding access to or use of this material. Related Materials A4100 Series A4100, Inspector General's Administrative Correspondence Files, originally included these records.
