wants to know if state can furnish him with buttons

Columbus Oct 1. 1861

His Excellency
Gov. Pettus.

Dear Sir

We would be greatly obliged to you to furnish our Battalion with Buttons, both large & small, say sufficient to equip 200 men—

This request is made upon the impression that the state had quite a quantity on hand, and we cannot get any here, or else-where for Cavalry.

You will greatly serve
Your obt st
C. Baskerville

If to be had, they may be forwarded to us by Express, at our Expense.
