James H. Carleton to First Infantry California Volunteers, November 6, 1861

Maj. EDWIN A. RIGG, First Infantry California Volunteers, Comdg. at Camp Wright, near Warners Ranch, Cal. : MAJOR: 1 send by Lieutenant Wellman 20,000 rounds of musket ammunition for your command, thirteen Sibley stoves, ten camp kettles, two hospital tents, and two sets hospital tent poles. Report to me how much ammunition you have on hand for your infantry command when ~ you have received this. The 10,000 rounds I wrote to you as having been sent to San Diego did not go down. I should think there could be no mistake about your getting barley at 24 cents and so wrote you, but you must have it even though you pay more. In the latter event report at once to me, and I will send to San Francisco for it.

Respectfully, &c.,
