His Excellency JOHN WHITEAKER, ; Governor of Oregon, Salem, Oreg. : SIR: I have the honor to notify your Excellency that by instructions this day received from the headquarters of the Department of the
Pacific the raising of the company of volunteer cavalry heretofore called for has been suspended, and the men, if any, already enrolled are to be disbanded, the regiment to be organized under Colonel Cornelius being considered amply sufficient for the whole country.
I have the honor to be, with much respect, your obedient servant,
