Gov J J Pettus

Dr Sir: You will remember I executed a Bond of thirty five hundred dollars to you on the 31^st of may last for forty two Stand of Cavalry arms for the Salem Cavalry to be delivered in my name at Lamar Depot Marshall Co Miss. We have been drilling frequently engaged our uniforms and are much disappointed in not having received our Arms from the State. We desire to exercise with them on the 4th of July and you will confer a special favor on our Company by having them forwarded forthwith to Lamar.
