WEITZEL, Major General Commanding to Monsieur G. Cloue, Commander of the Naval Division of the Mexican Gulf, November 12, 1865
No. 18.
[Untitled]
Headquarters District of the Rio Grande, Brownsville, Texas, November 12, 1865.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 9th in stant.
Several days ago I received one from General Mejia on the same subject; but before I had received either I had commenced to investigate the affair, and as soon as I can I will reply to General Mejia, as he signs himself and is understood to be, commander of the line of the Rio Grande on the other side, and because I have neither the time nor the disposition to correspond with two different commanders on the same subject.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
G. WEITZEL, Major General Commanding.
Monsieur G. Cloue, Commander of the Naval Division of the Mexican Gulf.
