John B. Gray to Clinton B. Fisk, September 7, 1864

STATE OF Missouri, ADJUTANT-GENERAL’S OFFICE, Saint Louis, Mo., September 7, 1864. General C. B. FIsk, Commanding District of North Missouri:

GENERAL: Your letter of the 24th ultimo regarding the organization of new regiments in Northwest Missouri under De Bolt and Thompson was received. General Rosecrans says that as soon as Colonels Bradshaw’s and Harding’s regiments are full (which he thinks they now are) he will propose for the organization of De Bolt’s regiment. Having received no muster-in rolls as yet, I cannot judge how far they are advanced. You know better than I.

Very respectfully,
