HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF, New Orleans, La. May, 26th, 1876.

    Captain W. S. Foulk, late of the 10th Cavalry is under the impression that justice was not done him by the Court Martial before which he was tried at Fort Griffin, Texas in the Fall of 1873.  (See G. C. O. No. 58, from War Dept of Dec. 6", 1873.).     I should be glad therefore to have the record of the proceedings of the Court examined again by the Judge Advocate General of the Army, and if anything is found there to confirm Captain Foulk's impressions, that it be corrected.

My wish has been and is now, that full justice shall be down both to Capt Foulk, and to the service. I have known him since 1867, when he first joined his regt, and during the time I have never had his integrity questioned, and have always understood & believed that his is certainly free from disruptive ? habits.
