My dear Doctor- I note the Commissioners claim that absence from Wash. caused him to delay more than three months in answering your letter. Also that my relief from Carlisle was consummated in his absence but had his approval, and that he will hunt? you up sometime and tell you (on the sly) why I was relieved.
