Camp near San Bernardino, Cal., September 2, 1861.
ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL, U.S. Army, Headquarters Department of the Pacific, San Francisco, Cal.: Str: Captain Davidson’s command of dragoons reached this place this day. In my opinion circumstances require that I should detain him at this place until after the election, when, unless disappointed in my expectations, he can carry out such instructions as he may have received from department headquarters. I am much in want of a good physician, company officers, and recruits.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
Major Fourth Infantry, Commanding.
