General Prentiss, Union Commander of the District of East Arkansas, replies to correspondence from General Ross (possibly Leonard Fulton Ross, commander of a post in Helena). States "I will endeavor to keep up communication with you and have sent Boats for that purpose." Referring to General Ulysses S. Grant, writes "Your additional rations go forward today, I learn it is Genl Grants intention to send more Troops through the Pass, trusting I may hear from you often and that you may be successfull. I bid you God Speed- I send you some late papers."
