HEADQUARTERS SAINT LOUIS DISTRICT,
Saint Louis, April 8, 1864.
COMMANDING OFFICER,
Pilot Knob:
What do you think of the expediency of sending a company from Centerville to Patterson; also of sending the three howitzers now at Camp Curtis to Patterson? Ascertain and inform me whether it will be practicable, when grass comes, to subsist three companies at Poplar bluff or Doniphan, with the aid of such forage as can be gathered up about there.
THOMAS EWING, JR.,
Brigadier-General.
