W. H. Emory letter June 2, 1863

Headquarters, New Orleans, June 2, 1863.
Lieutenant-Colonel Van Buren,
Assistant Adjutant-General, Fort Monroe.
Colonel: Since directing Colonel Cassidy to take these prisoners to New York I have received orders to send them to Fort Monroe. There are forty-six of them, all officers of the Confederate service captured in this department, and duplicate rolls are inclosed herewith. I suppose they will not be and should not be exchanged until the decree issued by the Confederate authorities is revoked which directs all Federal officers captured in this department to be retained.
I have the honor to be, your obedient servant,
W. H. EMORY,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
