General FISK:
Company C, Third Cavalry, Missouri State Militia, is at Centreville. They will not be caught napping again. Companies A and L at Patterson; Company I at Fredericktown, and Company H at Famington. I believe Leeper will keep me informed of any force in his front. I had information about a week ago that the guerrillas wee collecting in force on the border. I felt strong enough to manage them, and did not think it necessary to annoy you with small affairs. I am confirmed in my opinion that Johns has just returned safely from Arkansas with small scout.

We are using every diligence to ferret them out, and have been successful in arresting some of them. No other news of interest.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
