Letter from MG Fremont to Edwin Stanton Regarding Death Sentence of Prisoners, June 25, 1862.

HEADQUARTERS MOUNTAIN DEPARTMENT,
Middletown, June 25, 1862.

Hon. Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.:

Walter Cool, Matthew Corbitt, Frederick Chewing and Harrison C. Rollins were recently sentenced to death by military commission at Clarksburg. The last named called himself Captain Spriggs but I am informed is not the man. The sentence is not yet approved. Have you any orders in these cases?

J. C. FREMONT,
Major-General, Commanding.
