Ans May 5th 1866

[[note]] Goodfellow and Lt. Midler when they saw that I was ordered to reinvestigate the case and send report of action through Genl Swayne, to Washington. 
The fact of my failing to act in the matter at once caused the party interested (Mr. Giers) to urch me relative to the matter, this called from me a letter of explanation to him (Giers) privately in which I stated all the reasons as above stated which was perfectly satisfactory to him, also Genl Howard & others.
