October 30, 1861. General A. R. LAWTON:
But a few hours since I received a communication from his excellency the governor, stating that he had not been advised by the Secretary of War of the action of the Department in ordering this regiment to Vir- , ginia, and, moreover, stating that he had just written to the Department protesting, in the name of the State, against this and other regiments being removed from the State. I thought it due to you that you should be notified of the same.
Again signifying to you that I shall obey with pleasure any order emanating from you, I subscribe myself,
your obedient servant
Colonel, Commanding Twentieth Regiment Georgia Volunteers.
