K. Geer to Thomas F. Wright, June 15, 1864

Maj. THoMAS F. WRIGHT, Sixth Infantry California Volunteers, Commanding Post:

Sir: At your request I have read the report of the scout of Sergeant Harris, Company E, First Battalion Mountaineers, California Volunteers, and would most respectfully call your attention to May 20, when I left this post in command of thirty enlisted men of your command, accompanied by Lieutenant Hackett and Lieutenant Hutton of the Sixth Infantry. Sergeant Harris did nothing more than any other enlisted man of the detachment. He did not turn over any property to me except a German rifle, it being all of the property that he captured. The deserters were taken by Lieut. J. P. Hackett, whom I brought in and turned over to you.

very respectfully, your obedient servant,
