to understand better than I, and I wish you to report to me your views on the above questions. It is believed that one Company can be comfortably quartered at Quitman, without additional expenses to Quarters, but that two Companies cannot be so quartered.

         If so, I have no objection to one Company remaining, even if not absolutely required there.
         Please report at your earliest convenience.
                                                I am Colonel, very respectfully
                                                Your obdt. servant

                    Your letter of the 26th. utl., has just been received.  The Commanding General instructs me to say, that you cannot supply arms nor ammunition to parties in Mexico, nor assistance, other than moral, [3 word underline] to any persons residing there.
                   But to American citizens and others, residing on our own soil, you will afford assistance and protection to the extent of your power.
                   It is not believed that the [strike] Revolutionists, even if they prove successful, will make any attempt to interfere with persons or property on this side the river.  Should they attempt to interfere with American citizens in Mexico or their property there, you should use your personal influence with the Commander, to prevent it, and make to him, if necessary, a written protest and remonstrance against unlawful acts towards American citizens or their property.
                                                                        I am Captain, very respectfully
                                                                             Your obdt. servant
                                                               (Sgd)   J. A. Augur
                                                                           Actg. Asst. Adjutant General
