I would therefore thank Maj General Howard if he would relieve Maj Frederick from duty on the courtmartial in order that he may report to me, as the loss of several Officers and agents from the Bureau recently, increases the necessity of having Maj Frederick on duty as soon as possible 649 & 650 I am General Very Respectfully Your Obt Servt W.
