From the Mississippi Department of Archives and History Governor Sharkey Collection. Letter from Colonel L. M. Hall at Vicksburg, Mississippi, to Mississippi Governor William L. Sharkey, asking that the white militia in the city not be disbanded or that it be reorganized for state service. On the reverse, notes from J. M. Patrise and A. H.
