Governor,
            Lieut Genl. Buckner's communication of the 18th instant has this instant been received. It is impossible for me to leave this post. I refer you to Judge H. D. Ogden and to Capt Hardenbergh, whom I send, and who have my views and are authorized to explain them and to act in my behalf. I should wish very much to see you, and still hope that you will be able to proceed immediately to this place.
                                                                                   
Yours very Respectfully
Harry T. Hays
Maj. Genl.
