Those belonging to volunteer organizations which are not in the United States will be sent by the surgeons in charge of hospitals to the nearest military post or camp.

The names of all men sent from general or field hospitals under these instructions, their companies and regiments, and the places to which they are ordered, will be promptly reported to this office by the surgeons in charge of hospitals, who will be furnished, by this office, with weekly printed statements of the stations of U. S. troops-regulars and volunteers-which statements will also show the location of the detachments of recruits belonging to regiments of the Regular Army that are not in the United States.

The necessary transportation under this order will be furnished by the Quartermaster's Department, and the Subsistence Department will pay commutation of rations at the rate of one dollar and fifty cents per day for the necessary number of days' travel. These provisions will not apply to soldiers on ordinary furloughs.

III. If the soldier has been paid or drawn clothing while in a hospital it will be noted on his descriptive list, if he has one, and if not, his company commander, or the officer to whom he may be ordered to report, will be furnished this information by letter.
