CHARLESTON ARSENAL,
November 20, 1860.
Colonel H.K. CRAIG,
Ordnance Department:
SIR: In obedience to the instructions of the War Department I came to this place and have assumed command of the arsenal. The excitement concerning this arsenal which existed here a short time since is very much allayed, and this result is in a great measure due to the prudence and discretion of the military storekeeper, Mr. Humphreys, whose conduct on the occasion meets my commendation.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
BENJ. HUGER,
Brevet-Colonel, U.S. Army.
[Indorsement.]
ORDNANCE OFFICE,
November 24, 1860.
Respectfully submitted to the Secretary of War for his information.
WM. MAYNADIER,
Captain of Ordnance.
