John W Garrett to General George H. Steuart, [October 18, 1859]

Gen. G. H. Steuart :

Your dispatch received. A handsome and well equipped body of cavalry promptly responded to your order, are now at Camden Station prepared and anxious to proceed for service.

I have advised Gen. Watkins of your countermand and they will accordingly be dismissed.
