To His Excellency

John J. Pettus Gov &c

Sir,

Nine or ten men belonging to Cap Weatherall's Company, lost their guns in engagement with the Enemy at Birmingham and Tupelo last Spring: the guns were private property furnished by the men for Service. I think the men Should be paid not only the value of the guns, but for their use whilst in Service. Please instruct me what to do in the premises.

Yr. Resply

S J Gholson
