William Preston Smith to C. W. Russell, December 1, 1859

Baltimore, Dec. 1st, 1859.
C. W. Russell,
        Of Wheeling troops,
                Charlestown.

It being very desirable for me to learn at once, something of probable movement of troops on return, so as to provide for safe and prompt transport, I will be much favored if you will ascertain this and telegraph me.

W. P. SMITH.
