Capt Poillon an agent of this Bureau has been sent by my recommendation to Claiborne in Monroe County, and the General Comd the District has sent with him two companions of infantry. I am confident Capt Poillon is the right man in the right place as his reports will show.

Were there an agent of this Bureau with a company, partly mounted, at Bladon Springs in Choctaw Co, also the same at Gasport Landing in Clarke County, I am confident the day would not be for distant where very much more satisfactory reports would come from Western Alabama.

I have the honor to be, Col, 
Very Respectfully
