Letter
T. R. Cornelius to Wright, April 14, 1862
HEADQUARTERS FIRST CAVALRY OREGON VOLUNTEERS,
Portland, Oreg., April 14, 1862.
General WRIGHT, Commanding Department of the Pacific, San Francisco, Cal.: SIR: Herewith I forward a communication from Lieutenant-Colonel Maury for your consideration. His views in regard to the requirement of a military force in Southern Oregon, as far as my knowledge extends, are correct. The two last companies mustered by Lieutenant-Colonel Maury being so near full, and being composed of good men well mounted, J would urge upon you (the matter being in your discretion) to increase the regiment to seven companies. I am, sir,
very respectfully, your obedient servant, :
T. R. CORNELIUS,
Colonel First Cavalry Oregon Volunteers.
