But please remember that at present I have no officers to help me and cannot here even get a dozen mounted men to escort me in visiting important portions of my district.

Hastily, respectfully,
Your ob't. servant
Henry E. Alvord.
Captain. 2d Mass. Vol. Cavalry
Supt. 5th Dist. - Va. - Bureau R., F. & A.L.
