change, except the increasing hostilities of the Indians, in the state of:
affairs in this department since my last report. Operations are still greatly embarrassed by the want of supplies, and particularly transportation; but I hope that these difficulties will be overcome in a few days, as some of the supply trains are now near Fort Union.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant,
