General RIPLEY, Washington City:

General SCHENCK:

Our 24-pounder howitzers are in position on Maryland Heights, but require eight more to perfect our defenses. If possible, induce General Ripley to order them at once, with 100 rounds of ammunition, assorted, per gun. If we are taken, it will be for want of these howitzers. Mark that.

DAN. TYLER,

Brigadier-General.

I send you the above, with request that the guns be supplied, if possible.
