Respectfully returned with the following explanation. I find in my letter book the copy of a letter addressed to Maj Kinsman, dated July 23d asking for transportation for the within named man. As I had been making requests of that kind to Col Dawson my clerk might have directed it to him by mistake. I enclose a letter from Mr. P. stating that he does not now want to go to Texas.
