New Orleans, May 1, 1861.
J. P. Benjamin:
It will bankrupt the State to keep 6,000 men an indefinite time. To
disband them would be very disastrous. Is it possible for you to intimate how long I should have to keep them before they are mustered into the service of the Confederate States? Answer immediately.
