Having a hard time getting a good picture of the arrest warrant despite it being in great shape. I'll keep trying but in the meantime I'll just type here what it says.

"District of Memphis
4th Jany 1863

Special order
no 36

V Col Murphy 8th Wis Regt infy will report in person to Brig. Genl. Asboth in Fort Pickering under arrest.

Brig. Genl. Asboth will allow Col. Murphy the limits of the fort until further orders from these Head Quarters.

By command of

Maj. Genl. Hurlbur
(signed) William H Thurston
a.a.a general."

On the back it says:

Captain Horace Parks Provost Marshall will see that the within is executed and will provide suitable quarters for Col. Murphy.

By order of.

Brig, Gl Asboth
H C Koerner
