Flag-Officer Andrew H. Foote to Brigadier-General Ulysses S. Grant, February 14, 1862

FLAGSHIP “ST. Louis,” Feb. 14, 1862.

Gen. GRANT, commanding United-States Forces.

DEAR GENERAL, —Will you do me the favor to come on board at your earliest convenience? As I am disabled from walking, from a contusion, I cannot possibly get to see you about the disposition of these vessels, all of which are more or less disabled.

A. S. [sic] Foote, Flag-Officer.
