Clinton B. Fisk to Frank Eno, September 7, 1864

Capt. FRANK ENO, Assistant Adjutant-General : I have the honor to report the following disposition of troops made and rapidly progressing: Major King moves from Liberty, Clay County, to Glasgow, Howard County, with 250 of Sixth Missouri State Militia Cavalry (veterans). He is re-enforced by militia at Richmond, Carrollton, and Brunswick. Will reach Glasgow to-night with about men quietly into the brush to bushwhack the bushwhackers as the mounted force drive the villains to their hiding places. General Douglass is familiar with that region, and will direct the movements. Troops move down from Macon to Randolph and from Hannibal to Monroe to co-operate. I hope to get 1,000 of the new troops after the bushwhackers within a day or two. Iam crowding them to organize as speedily as possible. I am threatened with a little spark of war in the extreme northwest by guerrillas who have gathered in Nebraska and Iowa to co-operate with the O. A. K.’s. Such is the information. Shall be on the alert for them.

CLINTON B. FISK,
