PAOLA, KAns., September 6, 1864.
Colonel Forp, Kansas Oity, Mo.: I have also heard rumors of a camp on Grand River, in Henry County. I have no scouts that cross east of Harrisonville, except on special occasions, as it is completely out of my range. My troops are ever more than vigilant. I will keep you informed of what I learn from time to time.
THOS. MOONLIGHT,
Colonel.
