Genl Chas Clark

Sir

At the request of several members & officers of The Battalion—I send Lieut. Sillers to see you in regard to some business. I think the impression has got out that we will not be sent back into the bottom. I wish you to act as you think best for the interest of the State, without regard to any personal consideration for myself. You will find several Petitions sent, to me by the Citizens & others in regard to the Command—to which your attention is called. You will also find my report to you to contain a list of the forces now in the bottom. The Command is all in good spirits & apparently satisfied—I hope to be able to visit you before I return to the bottom—

W. E. Montgomery
