Transcript	Private South Bend, IND Aug. 15 1861 Dear General, Yesterday I received your letter remailed from Washin and this morning your note from LaPorte. Although it is difficult to accomplish anything at Wash without being present and pertinacious. I wrote very pressingly to Gen Riply this morning. The head of the Ordance Bureau, urging him to order 300 more rifles for your Regt. to correspond with its increased numbers and told him you had saved the others which had done such good service. You had better write also directed to Gen J.W. Riply Ordance Bureau, what I fear is that he will reply that all requisitions for arms now much come through The Governor, as is the general way. But I told him you were one of the president’s regts remustered by his special orders. No other Vol. Regt. is allowed to go up to 2.4 N and I had no idea it would be ____________.
