William Preston Smith to John Donohoo, October 19, 1859—10:30 a.m.

Baltimore, October 19, 1859–10.30 A. M.
J. Donohoo,
        Acting Agent at Harper's Ferry.

We are very anxious to get immediate, full, and reliable information about the present condition and prospects of our men who were injured in the late conflict. Will you see them all—at once make inquiries, and let me hear? Should they want anything, you will at once advise me. Is Mr. Richardson dead? How is Mr. Wollett? If they are at Martinsburg, repeat this message there.

W. P. SMITH.
