Secretary of War Walker to Braxton Bragg on preventing re-enforcements to Santa Rosa Island.

MONTGOMERY, April 5, 1861.

General BRAGG, Pensacola, Fla.:

Can you prevent re-enforcements being landed at other points on Santa Rosa Island other than the docks? Do you mean by “attack” the opening of your guns upon the fort or upon the ships? If the former, would your operations be confined to battering the fort? Telegraph, and write, also, fully.

L. P. WALKER.
