HEADQUARTERS TRANS-MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT,.
Shreveport, October 1, 1864.
General S. COOPER,
Adjutant and Inspector General :
SIR: I have the honor respectfully to request that Special Orders,
No. 171, Adjutant and Inspector General's Office, Richmond, of July 21,
1864,* be revoked. I believe that serious injury would result to the
service were this order enforced. I have delayed its publication,
awaiting further instructions. General Maxey, commanding the dis-
trict of the Indian country, has with skill, judgment, and success
administered his duties. I have satisfactory evidence for believing
that he gives satisfaction to both Indian and white troops. His re
moval, besides being an injustice to him, would be a misfortune to the r:
department. General Cooper has been assigned to the divisih o f
Indian troops serving under General Maxey in the Indian Territory.
I would respectfully refer the department to Colonel Scott, the Conm-
missioner of Indian Affairs, for particulars regarding the civil adminis-
tration of General Maxey's district.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
E. KIRBY SMITH,
General.
[Indorsement.]
Colonel CLAY:
Please inform General Smith, in answer to this letter, that Special
Orders, No. 171, from this office, is deemed imperative and must be,
carried into effect.
S.C.
