Washington, July 25, 1861.
Hon. SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War:
SIR: The bearer of this, Col. J. D. Williamson, of New York, and formerly a resident of Oregon, informs me that he has raised a regiment of riflemen composed principally of citizens from that State. I trust that it will be convenient for you to receive them at once as a part of the quota from Oregon. Colonel Williamson bears the highest testimonials from some of the most distinguished citizens of New York.
respectfully, your obedient servant,
