To His Excellency, John J. Pettus, Governor of the State of Mississippi,

We the undersigned, citizens of the County of Wilkinson, State of Mississippi would respectfully represent that the good order, safety and well being of the County and interest of the State at large imperatively demands that the two Companies of Minute Men now organized and ready to move, pursuant to orders, to Milldale, be permitted to remain in the county for the present, for the following reasons, to wit,

1^st, Our homes are daily being menaced by the Enemy, who are destroying property and laying waste the Country—

2^nd,, We have a large Hospital just established here, at Woodville, for the reception & accommodation of the sick from Port Hudson a large number of Whom are already here, which would, in our opinion be a Strong inducement for the Enemy to attempt raids upon us—

3^rd,, We also have a Factory in active operation, Which is em=ployed in manufacturing goods almost exclusively for the Army which is another inducement for the Enemy to attempt raids upon us—

4^th,, A large number of those who are drawn to fill up the two Companies are men of advanced age, whose sons have already gone forth to the field and upon whose presence at home at least occasionally depends the raising of a Bread Crop for the Support of the army and of the families of those who are already in the service—

We therefore would respectfully represent [page torn] [the interest?] [page torn]
