Dept. of the Platte
1. Sir, I am in receipt of your communication of today.
2. I have the honor to report in, having been in the field yesterday in pursuit of
steel-y eyed hostiles and miscreants, in the vicinity of Ramah, Colorado (where the Shaketails are based).
3. I regret to report that I did
not hit everything I aimed at.
4. As you may know, I am engaged in supplying leather holsters, belts, &cetera, as well as conducting some experiements on small arms and ammunition for same, time, weather and additional duties permitting.
5. I am hoping to attend the annual Hell-On-Wheels match in July, with duties including the GAF color guard, as has been the case in the past 3 years. As you know this takes place in the general vicinity of Ft. D. A. Russell (aka Warren AFB), at the home range of the Cheyenne Regulators.
6. There are several annual matches within a day's forced march of Denver City this summer. I can inquire as to the possibility of having some GAF functions in conjuntion with these matches.
Please contact me by e-mail, PM or voice telegraph, at your convenience.
