Letter signed Wm. D. Wood, Act. Adj. Genl., St. Louis, to Governor Gamble. Lt. Col. Jacobsen arrived with his command from Chillicothe yesterday morning, and as he did not report up to 11 o’clock today I proceeded to Benton Barracks. On my return to my office I found Jacobsen awaiting me. I inquired of the negroes, some 30 men, women and children, brought down as contraband, and he said he could not obey your order because, being a U.S. officer, it would be as much as his commission was worth to do so. He said you had no authority to give him such an order. I placed him in arrest for disobedience of orders and turned over his command to Capt. Taulbey [Taulby]. I am at loss to say what can be done with the negroes. Will your try to arrange the affair of the 18th Regiment so that one set of our officers can be mustered out. The Enrolled Missouri Militia, now 70 organized regiments and getting along well, will, with the regular army, be able to hold Missouri against Price, Hindman, Holmes, etc., and restore peace within our borders once more.
