Oliver Dear sir Capt LaPoint one of the quartermasters of your brigade, took from us at Marietta Ga, as the army left that point, a splendid mule which did not belong to the govern- ment, but which we had owned for some time, as a means of sen- ding newspapers to the camps, by newsboys from Marietta.
