Youngs Point.La,
March 1^st 63.
His Excellency
James. F Robinson
Sir

Inclosed I send you the Recomendations of several officers, which I trust you will commission.

Many officers are resigning, from the different Regts, without regard to any particular state,

There are probably one or two officers yet in my Regt, who may try to resign, because they have not been recomended for promotion, should they do so, I have no doubt, the General, Comdg will accept, their resignations and let them return to civil life.

I have not had a case of small pox in my Regt, for several days, I have some hope that it will now, stop.

The River continues to rise, and has risen over the former height, some six inches, though it is rising quite slowly, at this time.

Yours Respectfully
T. T. Garrard
