Letter
G. Wright, July 24, 1861
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF OREGON,
Fort Vancouver, Wash. Ter., July 24, 1861.
Respectfully referred to department headquarters. I have removed all the stores from Fort Chehalis, as I did not believe there would be any absolute necessity for troops there for the present. I do not think that there is any real danger of Indian outbreaks, but to allay the apprehensions on that subject perhaps it might be as well to send ten or twelve men there for a while.
G. WRIGHT,
Colonel Ninth Infantry, Commanding.
