General:
Mr S.S. Wager has just called at this office and informs me that he has been discharged.  As no official information on the subject has been recd here, I have the honor to request that a copy of the order relative to Mr. Wager may be furnished my successor, Mr. Overley.

Also any other orders that may have been issued recently relating to the business in this state, as none has been recd here save the ones revoking my appointment & appointing Mr Overley.

Mr. Wager also informed me that he had written to you personally, requesting that he might be retained in the Bureau until spring,
