Resp'y returned – with information that the Desk mentioned by Dr. Wheeler was drawn for the use of Mr. J.A. Johnson, Agent, Bu R.F. & AL. I said to Dr. Wheeler if Mr. Johnson was mustered out the Bureau service I would not need the Desk & would have no objection to transferring it to him (Dr. Wheeler) But as Mr. Johnson is retained & ordered to report to Mrs. J.S. Griffing, the desk is still needed - and I trust the Ass't Comr. D.C. will revoke his decision in the premises.
