A. P. Shutt to William Preston Smith, November 28, 1859—8:08 a.m.

Harper's Ferry, November 28th, 1859–8.08 A. M.
W. P. Smith

All is quiet here. The Wheeling troops arrived this morning on Express—seventy-six men. Will send them to Charlestown with the Cadets, that will arrive here on Mail train time this A. M. I shall go with them. I will inform you when it is likely there will be a battle, for I want you to be present.

A. P. SHUTT.
