I sent Shea over in the boat this evening not knowing that he had been guilty of mutinous conduct, You will arrest him at once and put him in irons.

I shall send a special messenger to Mobile tomorrow evening, send the light boat over so that it will reach here by 2½ P.M. Send back all the men you can in the morning.

I am Captain Very Respy
