Letter to Ord discussing his post-war [Reconstruction] duties, the deployment of troops in Arkansas and out west to fight in the war with the Sioux: "General Grant has answered me emphatically that he cannot give me more troops. And balancing all the calls from...Montana and the Great Plains I would not thinnk of drawing troops from them for Arkansas. Even if I knew you were drifting to an actual outbreak, because I don't see how we are to avoid war with some 10,000 Sioux, and half as many Cheyennes & Arapahoes..." "Headquarters Military Division of the Missouri " letterhead.
