I doubt Capt. Wells, Cooper's AAG, appreciated the sarcasm. Parks had already sent him a harsh letter regarding unfilled requisitions and followed the below with another stating he wasn't sending more requisitions because they were rarely filled anyway. While Gen. Hindman was creating an army from scratch in Arkansas, not much was making its way west of Ft Smith. Note that this was sent the day after the battle of Prairie Grove, of which Parks was unaware.
