Danny Odom provided this

7/8/62
General Hindman to Capt. L. P. Dodge-On special Duty & etc--

directs that upon you way to this place you turn over to Capt. Etter, cdg company of arty at Washington, six of the guns placed in your charge by your instructions of yesterday, with all equipment complete. Capt Etter has been directed to procure necessary number of horses & etc., for his battery.

Capt Dodge has been sent to Fort McCulloch, to bring here ten Parrot Guns which Gen Pike has there. He started from here last night and it will be several weeks before he returns.

So that put 6 of the orgional 10 with etter and three with Hart? Or do we think that Etter received less than six guns?
