Maj
In reply to your letter 10th inst respecting like order issued by myself in the name of General Hayden. I would respectfully state that I regret that I have misconstrued my instructions as I was under the impression that when necessary for Sub Asst Commiss to issue an Order a copy must at once be forwarded to Asst Commissioners. Let me assure you Major my action in this matter was governed purely by a sense of duty, fully believing that I was preventing an evil and acting within Jurisdiction of my Office. I will in the future, endeavor to make myself useful by conforming strictly to discharge of my duty. 

Hoping my explanation
