SIR: I have the honor to report the receipt of the note* of Colonel Carleton, commanding the district, instructing me to retain Captain Parvin’s company if it had not left, or to send an express after him, &e., if he had left. Cap’ain Parvin’s company left here on the morning of the 11th instant, and I think encamped last night at Carriso Creek.
