I can spare Buford's two regiments at this time as well as Rust's, but neither, should Banks advance his whole force. He has withdrawn two divisions from Baton Rouge. Shall I order these regiments when wagons return from Clinton?

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT TRANS-MISSISSIPPI,
Alexandria, La., April 5, 1863.Major General J. B. MAGRUDER,
Commanding, &c., Houston, Tex.:
GENERAL: Lieutenant General E. Kirby Smith, on his way from Little Rock, was informed that an expedition was being fitted out for Arizona under your direction. I am instructed to say that great as in his desire to aid the patriotic people of that district the exigencies of the service will not permit the withdrawal of any part of our forces from points more exposed to the approach of the enemy, West Louisiana and Arkansas being now threatened and your own district likely to be subjected to invasion at any moment should its army be weakened. The general commanding therefore hopes that if a movement into Arizona should have been contemplated you will promptly check it, as it cannot under existing circumstances be authorized.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. F. BELTON,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
