HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE PACIFIC,
San Francisco, Cal., April 19, 1862.

HENRY D. BARROWS,

U. S. Marshal, Southern Dist. of California, Los Angeles, Cal.:

SIR: Your communication of the 10th instant has been received and carefully perused. I shall not hesitate a single moment in using the most stringent measures for the suppression of treason or disloyalty to our Government, and the officers in command of U. S. troops will arrest and hold in confinement all persons against whom such charges can well be established. I full concur with you as to what should be done, and the only difficulty we have to encounter is as to the best manner of accomplishing the object in view. When I do arrest persons, to hold them safely they must be removed beyond the reach of a civil process, or such writs disregarded. Soon I shall send additional officers to the southern district and place an experienced officer in command, who will be instructed to confer freely with yourself and other civil officers of the United States in that quarter.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

G. WRIGHT,

Brigadier-General, U. S. Army, Commanding.
