August 24, 1863, St. Louis, Mo.,
Major-General J. M. Schofield to Brigadier-General Ewing

SAINT LOUIS, MO., August 24, 1863.

  Brigadier-General EWING,  Kansas City:

I will send six companies of the Eleventh Missouri Cavalry (240 men) to Sedalia, with orders to report to you. Send them orders at Sedalia. I will also direct General Brown to give you all the force he can spare temporarily. Would it not be well to call on the Governor of Kansas to furnish you a militia force to guard your posts a short time so that your whole cavalry [force] can be put in the field after Quantrill? Spare no means by which he may be destroyed.

 J. M. SCHOFIELD,

Major-general.
