Camp at Old Fort Cobb, In. Ty. Monday, November 16, 1868.

Dear General,

            Last Wednesday I wrote you a long letter about my being here, my doings here, and particularly regarding the establishment of a new post in this part of the District.  Let me again say that I hope you will at once take some official and effective steps in regard to the latter subject.
    I also stated in my letter that General Hazen has written to Major Roy (Nov. 7) requesting that I might be authorized to remain here a while to assist Gen. H. in getting started in his work.  I now enclose a copy of Gen'l. Hazen's letter to Major Roy.   Gen'l. H. left this place on Thursday to go to Arbuckle, and took my letter to you to mail there.  I suppose it will reach Gibson on the 20th, the day your leave expires - if I am not mistaken.
    Since then I have received a note from Major Roy, dated 12th instant, in which he writes:-

"You are authorized to remain at Fort Cobb, until such time as in your judgment your services can be dispensed with."
