I forward you her with a copy of S.O. 425 Ex. 14 War Dept. A.G.O. Current series.  The original printed order addressed to Lt Logan was forwarded him through your office on the 2nd inst.  I forward also S.O. 54 Ex. 11 from this Office relieving Lt Logan and directing the Sub. Asst. Comr. to assume the duties of A.A.Q.M. and ACS.  This order would have been sent before had it not been for the complication of matters arising from your request that the detail of Captain Gillette be revoked.
