Sir

                     I am in receipt of your letter and in answer order you to fill up your Company to sixty four as soon as possible. My orders from Col Van Dorn are not to receive you with less than 64 men rank and file, but I will not let the want of a few men disappoint you and your Company. You are further ordered to remain at Ft Inge until your supplies arrive from San Antonio when you will report your Company to me at this place for orders.
