No. 42.]
FORT SUMTER, S.C., February 12, 1861.

Colonel S. COOPER, Adjutant-General U.S. Army:

COLONEL: I have the honor to say that everything around us appears quiet. They are now relieving the companies on Morris Island-the troops leaving would, we think, muster about 175. A steamboat is now landing ammunition and other stores at Cummings Point.

I am, colonel, respectfully, your obedient servant,

ROBERT ANDERSON,
Major, First Artillery, Commanding.
