Head Quarters Novr 2d 1835

To Colo Bowie and Captn Fanning,

In accordance with the decision of a majority of your officers and my own views—you will march the Detachment under your command to this encampment either tonight or in the morning as you may choose—It may be inconvenient to march tonight after receiving this dispatch of this you will however be able to judge and can use your discretion—

I send you a good Guide—

The Mill is at present occupied by a Detachment under Colo Burleson—
