adjacent to the camp and have discovered nothing which would warrant a suspicion of death by violence of any soldier or citizen. I respectfully beg leave to state further that since our arrival in your camp our men have daily scoured the whole country within a circuit of six miles from camp in search of straggling soldiers, and had any dead bodies been concealed within the extent of their search they could not have failed to discover them. No such discovery has been made.

My company has been on duty in this camp since October 6, 1862.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

HENRY L. CLAYTON,

Lieutenant, Commanding Company B, Purnell [Legion] Cavalry.
