I have the honor to acknowledge rec't of your letter of 2d inst asking "if the interests of the Bureau require a continuance of the services of Capt. S. A. Craig as Supt at Madison Ind." I have no knowledge of any Supt for this Bureau in the state of Ind. and do not consider any necessary.
I go on this evening to Little Rock Ark and respectfully request that letters for me be directed to that place.
Very Resp'y your Obt Servt
