Washington Hotel April 18/61—

His Excellency Jno J Pettus Govr &c—

Dr. Sir,

On the River we are comparatively unprotected, and there are now engaged in working the Leeves in Washington County about 1000, able-bodied Irishmen good material for soldiers. Most of these men express a willingness to fight for the South, and if any arrangements can be made by which they could be mustered in active service I have no doubt they would make efficient soldiers.—

Very Respectfully yours &c—

Wm H. Nugent

Address me at Greenville Miss—
