My men complain that the Mormons retained their arms, and were allowed transportation to the Salt Lake, for seven months' service, and supplied with twenty rounds of cartridofes each, while they, who have served more than two veort^ and traveled thousands of miles on the ocean to come here in the service of their country, are to l)e discharo-ed without an arm for tlieir defence, or a dollar of commutatitm ; and some of them (the last recruits) had their arms taken from them at Monterey, which, ...unless you have sent them down in the "Anita, " they will, in all human probability, never receive. Soon after I arrived in this country, in a frank conversation with General Kearny on this very subject, he assured me tliat my men should be allowed to retain their arms, as he had no doubt if it had been suo-o-ested to the authorities at home before sailinof, it would have been authorized, as thev were intended for, and would become permanent residents of the country. He said he made the stipu- lation with the Mormons, and he felt authorized to make it with me for mv men ; and the dav he left here for the United States he assured me that he would leave such instructions with you as would insure it.
