This story is received here with considerable satisfaction by those who would throttle the government if they possessed the power, which class is pretty strong in this section.

It is proper that I should make my actions, or reports to you, or to Col. D.A. Poole, who is my nearest officer that I know of?

It is necessary that I should keep a record of all contracts approved by me?

As to my name, of which you speake as having made a mistake in reference to, I have to inform you, that my name is still incorrectly spelled in S.O. 22, which has it "Swayre."  It should be Swayze.

Respectfully your obd't Serv't
J.Clarke Swayze
Ag't.
