Buell Geo. P. Lt. Col. 11 Inf

Continuation of EB 3/1432, 1657 D.T. 1872

Received back from Lt. Col. G. P. Buell, April 23 1872 for the reconsideration of the Dept. Comdr I acknowledge the wrong in using the word "protest" and have therefore erased the objectionable words.

Respectfully returned to Lt. Colonel Buell 11 Inf. not favorably considered. Lt. Col. Buell errs in assuming he can claim as a right Command of a Post, such assumption is not by regulation of the Army or by custom of service. Department Commanders being held responsible for the condition of their Departments, are properly allowed to select their Post Commanders. Lt. Colonel Buell's right to command is limited by his commission to his regiment.

Richardson Ft. C. O. Endorsement on Muster Rolls of the Field, Staff & Band 4 Cav 2681 D.T. 72 Received D.T. Oct. 5, 1872 Respectfully returned to the C.O. Fort Richardson. The Commanding General doubts the legality of this Muster, and regrets that officers should permit their private differences to embarrass and injure the public service. These rolls as prepared and signed by the Adjt. 4th Cav should have been sent to Comdg Officer Ft. Richardson who should have mustered the Field, Staff & Band thereon. If Lt. Parker is still at the post, new rolls should be made out and signed by him of the Regimental Field and Staff and Lt. Col Buell should sign them as Mustering Officer, as it is understood the Muster was actually made by him on other rolls. It is thought he can with propriety Muster the Adjutant and Srgt Major as at the post, but this is not absolutely necessary. He can muster them as absent at Regimental Hq Ft. Richardson. There was no necessity whatever for this complication. If Lt. Parker is not at the post the rolls already made out by him of which the enclosed are a part, should be sent to Lieut. Col. Buell with Maj. Mizner's name erased, Lt. Col. Buell can then complete them, in accordance with his muster, Lt. Parker will be furnished with a copy of this endorsement and be directed to send the rolls as above indicated. Oct 5, 1872
