No. 145 LETTER FROM J. W. THROCKMORTON TO U. S. COMMANDING OFFICER, SAN ANTONIO
Executive Department Texas Austin June 7. 1867
To the Comindg. Officer U. S. Troops San Antonio Sir,
I telegraphed you today asking for an escort
for Judge Noonan to El Paso. It is highly important tha.t Judge Noonan should hold his courts there and unless the military authorities can furnish him an escort it will be impossible for him to make the journey in time. It will be a public benefit and greatly facilitate the administration of the laws of the State if Judge Noonan can be enabled to reach El Paso in time for his court to sit. I have directed him to confer with you. I am sir
very respectfully Your Obt Servt J. W. THROCKMORTON Gov of Texas
