I submit this for our edification and education on how the Union Army settled into occupied towns in the South. For those of you who portray regiments who occupied Vicksburg, or had ancestors in those regiments, you may find this useful. Double check all names and abbreviations; some of the documents were barely legible.
Enjoy!

Vicksburg, Mss., February 3rd 1864
Major Genl. McArthur
Commanding Post
Sir: I have the honor to enclose a copy of an assignment of the house on the SE corner of Walnut and China Streets. By this it will be seen that the house has been in charge of the Ordnance Department since the 11th of July last, and it has been occupied since that date, by that Department as quarters and offices. This house has been restored to its owner, by the U.S. Military Commission when no longer required for military purposes, and would have been given up by me had it not been so required. It has since been assigned to Capt Klinck (A.Q.M.) by the Treasury Department in virtue of General Orders No 331 from the War Department a copy of which I enclose. But this order specially states that such houses as "are not required for military purposes", are to be turned over to the Supervising Special Agents of the Treasury Departments which leads to the inference that houses required for military uses are not to be so turned over. But the house now occupied by me is required by me for military purposes, hence I can not see it can be transferred to the Treasury Department. I have consulted with General McPherson and Col. Brigham (Chief Quartermaster Dept of Tenn.) on the matter and am directed by them to apply at once to you for protection. I earnestly hope it may be granted me, as I think my right to the house is unquestionable, the assignment being from the highest authority in this Department and never having been annulled by that or highest authority. I also have the honor to enclose General Orders No 12 Head Quarters Military Division of the Miss. My occupancy of this house in question is under this order.
Very Respectfully
Your obdt Sert

Vicksburg, Mss., February 3rd 1864
Major Genl. McArthur
Commanding Post
Sir: I have the honor to enclose a copy of an assignment of the house on the SE corner of Walnut and China Streets. By this it will be seen that the house has been in charge of the Ordnance Department since the 11th of July last, and it has been occupied since that date, by that Department as quarters and offices. This house has been restored to its owner, by the U.S. Military Commission when no longer required for military purposes, and would have been given up by me had it not been so required. It has since been assigned to Capt Klinck (A.Q.M.) by the Treasury Department in virtue of General Orders No 331 from the War Department a copy of which I enclose. But this order specially states that such houses as "are not required for military purposes", are to be turned over to the Supervising Special Agents of the Treasury Departments which leads to the inference that houses required for military uses are not to be so turned over. But the house now occupied by me is required by me for military purposes, hence I can not see it can be transferred to the Treasury Department. I have consulted with General McPherson and Col. Brigham (Chief Quartermaster Dept of Tenn.) on the matter and am directed by them to apply at once to you for protection. I earnestly hope it may be granted me, as I think my right to the house is unquestionable, the assignment being from the highest authority in this Department and never having been annulled by that or highest authority. I also have the honor to enclose General Orders No 12 Head Quarters Military Division of the Miss. My occupancy of this house in question is under this order.
Very Respectfully
Your obdt Sert
