HEADQUARTERS NINTH ARMY CORPS,
June 20, 1864.

Brigadier-General WILLIAMS,
Assistant Adjutant-General:

In answer to your dispatch I have the honor to state that the following regiments compose the old Third Division of this corps: Tenth New Hampshire, Eleventh Connecticut, Thirteenth New Hampshire, Fifteenth Connecticut, Fourth Rhode Island, Sixteenth Connecticut, Eighth Connecticut, Twenty-first Connecticut, Third New York, Eighty-ninth New York, One hundred and third New York, One hundred and seventeenth New York. As some of my old North Carolina regiments are now here, such as the Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth, Twenty-fifth, and Twenty-seventh Massachusetts, Tenth Connecticut, and Ninth New Jersey, it may be deemed proper to give me some of those instead of some of the above regiments now absent in North and South Carolina. I make no application for this unless the interests of the public service permit it.

A. E. BURNSIDE,

Major-General.
