Letter signed W.H. Russell, New York, to Col. Elliott. I left Washington Sunday…and up to that time nothing was known, rest assured that if anything in the way of Horses & Mules are wanted we will be all right. I was correct as to Hibler, he had no contract or order under which to buy for Government. I do not think there is a doubt as to Capt. V’s [Van Vliet] buying Horses if not Mules.
