HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE PACIFIC,
San Francisco, June 11, 1861.
EDWIN A. SHERMAN, Esq., San Bernardino, Cal.:
SIR: The general commanding the department has received your communication of the 3d instant. He directs me to reply that the necessary employment of troops elsewhere will prevent him from establishing a company of dragoons at San Bernardino as you suggest, but he hopes that the concer tration of a more considerable force at a point not far distant will accomplish the same object.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
D. C. BUELL,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
