Maj. E. A. RIGG, Commanding Camp Wright, San Diego County, Cal.:
MAJOR: General Wright has directed that as soon as Colonel Andrews’ command has passed your camp for San Diego you will at once send me an expressman stating the fact. I have directed quite a large supply of stationery to San Diego by the last Senator for your command. You can muster the man who talks Spanish as a teamster when you have discharged the one you write about, but he must be a teamster in fact. I had but a moment to write.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
Colonel First California Volunteers, Commanding.
