His Excellency JEFFERSON DAVIS,
Richmond:
The newspapers report an act passed and approved repaling the law under which my personal staff was appointed. I beg that they be
commissioned in the Adjutnt-General's Department and ordered to me. I would prefer seeing you in person on this and other matters, but do not feel authorizes to leave here in the present condition of affairs. The enemy has one iron-clad monitor and some fifteen other armed vessls in the river, and is reconnoitering and buoying out the channel up to Fost Anderson. Our defenses are improving, but we are greatly in need of heavy guns.
