Item Transcription:

Headquarters Wilmington
May 25th, 1864

NOTICE

MASTERS of Ships engaged in running the blockade, are requested to take care that their lists of passengers are complete before forwarding them to Headquarters for signature. Many instances occur in which parties with proper passports lose passage, on account of their names not appearing on the ships lists when inspected–This may be due in many cases to neglect or ignorance on the part of the passengers themselves, but as in all cases, before a passport is issued, parties are required to specify the ships in which they propose to sail, it is easy to provide against these omissions.

W. H. C. WHITING,
Major General.
