Letter
Samuel R. Curtis to James M. T. Herron, April 6, 1863
HEADQUARTERS,
Saint Louis, April 6, 1863.
General HERRON, Rolla: I feel much anxiety about Weer’s division. It is too far from support. You must remedy this as soon as possible. It seems to me he should get on this side of White, in connection with Springfield. Give your whole attention to the troops. I fear Marmaduke may get between Weer and Springfield with force enough to overpower Forsyth and Weer.
SAML. R. CURTIS,
Major-General.
