PRISONS, Capt. NORRIS MONTGOMERY: By the inclosed order(*) you will see that I
have been assigned to the command of C. S. prisons at Richmond. You will as
heretofore continue in command of prisoners at Belle Isle. A report giving an
accurate statement of all prisoners under your charge will be sent to this
office every morning by 9 o'clock. The countersign will be sent to you every evening.
Adjutant Peacock will hand you this communication. He is to take a full list of
all the prisoners under your charge, and you will please to render him any
assistance, as General Winder wishes to have a new list as soon as possible. Respectfully, H. WIRZ, Captain and Assistant Adjutant-General, Commanding Prisons.
C.S. MILITARY
PRISONS, The officer of the day as well as officer of the guard
will see that nothing is carried into the room of the Federal officers confined
here, as they are by direct order from the Secretary of War not to be considered
as prisoners of war.(+) They will further see that they do not stand
about the door or converse with any person. By order of: H. WIRZ, Captain and Assistant Adjutant-General, Commanding Prisons.
