Order
Samuel R. Curtis to Abraham Lincoln, March 30, 1863
Sart Louis, Mo.
Sart Louis, Mo., March 30, 1863.
President LINCOLN: General Schofield is here. Please order him to Washington immediately. Y H. R. GAMBLE, Governor. [DEPARTMENT OF THE Missouri,] March 30, 1863. General BARTHOLOW, Glasgow: All right. Iam misinformed as to the locality of Sibley’s Landing. I had telegraphed Loan, who has, no doubt, telegraphed commanders everywhere. Death to bushwhackers is the order. Have a commission always ready to try, determine, and execute immediately, if they are unfortunately taken alive.
SAML. R. CURTIS,
Major-General.
