From THE BOURLAND PAPERS. ..Below is part of a Dec 18, 1864 letter that Col. James Bourland wrote to Brig-Gen. H.C. McCulloch:
.
"... I am perfectly willing to have the good men transferred to LeKaester's Co though __ company has been doing a very loose __ and I think it is time to check it — the application to be transferred to the Frontier.

Capt. S.A.G. Norvell’s [Co E, 4th Arizona Brigade] Co. was no doubt not up yesterday. I have no objection to transferring these men to Capt. Norvell or any other legally organized Co., but I want it to be done in a legal manner. I am tired of the loose way of doing business. ..."
