Colonel JAMES F. CURTIS,

Wilmington:

COLONEL: From representations that to me from reliable persons in San Benardino County, there seems to be well-founded apprehensions that the Union people of that, county may suffer from rebel outrages both in life and property, and they appeal to me to do what I can to afford them military protection. I am entirely satisfied that they have reason for this request, and therefore I have to ask that you will station such a force in that vicinity as may seem to you to be proper and at the same time be effective for good.

Very truly, your obedient servant,

F. F. LOW,

Governor.
