Summary
Explaining that he is "busily engaged in the business of fitting out the armaments for the West Indies and the Coast of France, and therefore can not write to you more at large tonight than merely to express the feeling of urgency of [illegible] that the Corps of artillery should not be withheld on any account except one that does not occur to me, but which at the same time I leave entirely to your disposal if real necessity commands it."
