173.-Secretary Cameron's letter to General B. F. Butler.
Washington, August 8, 1861.
General:--The important question of the proper disposition to be made of fugitives from service in the States in insurrection against the Federal Government, to which you have again directed my attention, in your letter of July 20, has received my most attentive consideration.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Simon Cameron, Secretary of War. To Major-General Butler, commanding Department of Virginia, Fortress Monroe.
