by the President in the State of Missouri. You are at liberty there-
fore to receive and muster in as many troops as you can raise in that
State. All permits to raise troops in Missouri granted by the depart-
ment are subject to your approval. You can distribute them among
the different arms as you please. The organization must conform to
that of the Provisional Army. The rolls should be returned to the de-
partment as speedily as possible and field officers nominated where
regiments are organized from unattached companies. Untilthe nomi-
nations are confirmed you may give acting appointments. You will
assume the control of the enrollment of conscripts in your department,
it being impossible for us to appoint enrolling officers and to require
them to report directly to this department, as we have done east of the
Mississippi. In your regulations concerning conscripts conform as far
as possible to those promulgated by the Department. A new call will
soon be made under the amended conscript act and regulations'will be
adopt,ed for carrying it out. I shall send you copies of them if possible.
Wishing you success in your approaching campaign, I remain, gen-
eral, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
GEO W. RANDOLPH,
Secretary of War.

General S. COOPER,
Adjutant and Inspector General :
GENERAL: Herewith you will find inclosed a copy of a letter ad-
dressed by me to Maj.. Gen Curtis, commanding United States forces in
Missouri and Arkansas.* The unheard-of outrages committed by the
Federal troops have rendered it necessary for me to take some steps
to suppress them. I hope the letter will have the desired effect. If it
fails I shall retaliate. I beseech you to send me some general offi-
cers. I have the painful duty to perform of reporting the death of
Brig. Gen. A. Nelson, who commanded a division. He is an irreparable
loss to me.
I am, general, very respectfully,
TH. H. HOLMES,
Major- General.
