To his excellency
L.W. Boggs. Gov: Mo
Sir. The accompanying
two letters or reports from Maj: Gen:
Brig: Gen: Doniphan, on the subject of the Mor:
:mon difficulties, the former directed to your
excellency, & the latter from Gen: Doniphan
to Gen:
Deeming them of sufficient importance to
justify the sending of them to you by expresz.
I have engaged Jesse B. Baber esqr. for that pur:
:pose, who will leave some time to night, or
very early in the morning.
From the tenor of those
paperz it would appear that there is no
necessity for the troopz, that have been rais:
:sed from this Division to march.- The Com:
:manding officer, however doez not consider
that he would be justifiable in disbanding
them, or suspending, for a few dayz, operationz
without expresz orders to that effect from
the Commander-in-Chief. He has accordingly
taken up a few minutes ago, the line of
march, for the seat of difficultiez.
I have the honor to be very respectfully yrz
Peter G. Glovers
