John M. Forbes to Colonel Richard Borden, April 18, 1861

Boston, April 18,1861.
Colonel Borden, 70 West Street, New York:

Have seen governor and adjutant-general. No further orders for Colonel Packard. Push steamer on without stopping. Massachusetts must be first on the ground. Telegraph when she passes Sandy Hook; also weather.
