The enclosed dispatches came in
by the courier last night & more by me (in
absence of Col. Pettus) sent to Col. Trader
for his action - He simply as Adgt More
reports looked at the address & refused
to have any thing whatever to do
with them. As they seem to require
some kind of notice & as there seems
to be no one else whose business
it is I beg leave to call the attention
of Your Excellency to them
With sentiments of highest regard
