Sherman, of the 12th instant, requesting that a regiment of cavalry be ordered to report for temporary service to Brigadier-General Cameron, commanding District of La Fourche, and the co-operation of the naval authorities in an expedition about to be made, I am directed by the major-general commanding to say that you will please cause the Third Rhode Island Cavalry (dismounted) to be remounted to supply this requisition for cavalry, and that Commodore Palmer has been requested to give the necessary orders to cause the co-operation of the naval commander with General Cameron, and of his compliance you will have prompt notification.

Major General N. P. BANKS,

Commanding Department of the Gulf, New Orleans, La.:

GENERAL: It is the desire of the major-general commanding that the detachment of First Texas Cavalry, referred to in your communication of this date, should be sent to Brazos Santiago for service with the companies of the First Texas now serving there, inasmuch as they were enlisted to serve in Texas and are dissatisfied to serve elsewhere. The writer of this understood that the necessary orders had been issued on referring the matter to General Canby this morning, which was the occasion for sending the officer in charge to department headquarters.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

B. F. MOREY,
