No. 2265. JOHN B. HICKEY'S STATEMENT Having been Called upon by Lieut Jno. A. Veatch to furnish a Statement of a Conversation had between Lieut Thqs. M. Likens, Qr Master and Commissary of the Loredo Garrison, and myself, I have briefly to state, that some 10 or 12 days since, I Called at the office of the said Lieut Likens, and enquired of him whether it was probable we would be furnished with Corn soon, (our horses not having any for some time Previous) to which, he replied, that he did not intend using further exertions in procuring Forage, nor would he longer en- courage foolery and humbuggery in the Company. This language I readily understood as being applied to the Captain and other officers of the Company, and was Called forth in Consequence of the Post- ponement, by the Captain, of a Contemplated trip to Camargo, where it was expected to procure funds for the use of the Qr Masters and Commissary departments.
