HEADQUARTERS,
Post of Fort Leavenworth, Kans., June 10, 1865.

Captain JOHN PRATT,

Assistant Adjutant-General, District of North Kansas:

CAPTAIN: Visiting Fort Sully yesterday I became again of opinion that this place should be given up and abandoned without delay. As a Fort this place has no importance whatever under the present circumstances, and I trust will never have again. There are two 32-[pounder] siege guns and quite a lot of ammunition that should be removed and stored at the U. S . arsenal. The lumber about these premises is calculated to be at least 15,000 feet, and we have use for this stuff elsewhere. Keeping it there it will soon decay and be worth nothing in a very short time. Besides this it takes me a corporal and there men daily to guard that property. I therefore respectfully request through You to the general commanding to authorize me to remove all property from Fort Sully and give it up as a Fort for the present. In case of emergency the place can easily be put in condition again.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, Your obedient servant,

GUST. HEINRICHS,

Lieutenant- Colonel, Commanding Post.

[Indorsement.]

HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF NORTH KANSAS,
Fort Leavenworth, June 12, 1865.

Respectfully forwarded, and are commend the abandonment of the fort.

ROBT. B. MITCHELL,

Brigadier-General.
