Harper's Ferry, Nov. 21st, 1859—9.20 A, M.
W. P. Smith:
All is quiet here. The troops—one hundred and seventy-that remain here are quartered in the Armory building. Arrangements have been made for them to meal at the different hotels. All was satisfactory to them. I will see to your instructions, and see that they are enforced. The citizens are pleased to have the military here, and feel comfortable with the arrangements. Gov. Wise is at Charlestown with the troops that left here last evening. Will arrange with the commanding officer here respecting the car of provisions expected on mail to-day.
A. P. SHUTT.
