Richd. C. Drum to A. Cady, October 23, 1861
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE PACIFIC,
San Francisco, Cal., October 23, 1861.
Lieut. Col. A. CADY, Seventh Infantry, Commanding District of Oregon :
SIR: The colonel commanding the department desires you to give the necessary orders suspending the raising of the company of mounted volunteers by Captain Whittlesey. The regiment to be organized under Colonel Cornelius will, the colonel thinks, be ample for the whole country. If any men have been raised for this company the colonel desires you to disband them. >
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
RICHD. C. DRUM,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
