SIR:

It will be necessary that you send down as soon as you can, the witnesses against the several prisoners brought by Lieut. Cone, that they may be brought to trial, by a Court Martial, which they cannot be without the witnesses being here. Be pleased to cause the proclamations herewith sent to be made known in the district of your regiment.

I am sir, your humble servant,

J. RUTLEDGE
