HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF TEXAS, &C.,
Near Millican, August 15, 1863.
Brig. Gen. W. R. Boaas, Chief of Staff:
GENERAL: I have the honor to state that the arms ordered by the lieutenant-general commanding to be sent from General Taylor’s command have not yet arrived.
The immediate necessity for arms in this district being very great, I beg that the lieutenant-general commanding will direct Major-General Taylor to lose no time in sending the arms above alluded to. I see at present no chance of getting arms from any other source.
your obedient servant,
J. BANKHEAD MAGRUDER,
Major-General, Commanding.
Major-General, Commanding.
