Sir I have the honor to request that troops be sent and stationed permanently in this District for the protection of all classes suspected of loyalty to the Gov't.

Since my report of the 23d ultimo was published, I have been assaulted, insulted and my life threatened. I have so far taken but little notice of this, but as others are in connection, or at least been threatened in the same manner as myself. I deem it necessary to ask for protection. Under the present excited state which the people are in, no business can be transacted.
