To his Excellency
Jno. J. Pettus.

Dear Sir,

Some Short time Since I wrote you requesting commissions for my Military Staff, information as to the arms and accoutrements which had been ordered and especially the additional arms and accoutrements needed by the Home Guards. To that letter I have recieved no reply. Be pleased if consistent with your engagements and convenience, to let me hear from you, so that I may be able to relieve the anxiety and impatience of those who are interested, and if possible, to preserve and increase the strength of my own Company and the Volunteer Corp^s of the State.

Yours. Truly
Tho. W. Harris
