Head Quarters Fort Bliss

August 25^th 1861

 

Capt W. C. Adams

                                   

Sir

You will at once, on the receipt of these orders, return and garrison Fort Davis until further orders. I learn that Indians are very numerous in the vicinity of that Post; and it is necessary to afford some protection to the Post and road. Concentrate your whole company there except the guard left at your Post.
