Surgeon General for remarks, has been returned with an endorsement of which the following copy is submitted for your information, viz:
"Respectfully returned to the Quarter Master General
The Judiciary Square Hospital Building, having been retained by this Department for use as a Purveying Depot, no portion of it can be dispensed with. The conversion of the former kitchen into a school would endanger the safety of the large and valuable supplies stored in the other buildings.
(Signed) J.K. Barnes
Surgeon General
