| Asks to be relieved of the charge of
transportation of Ordnance Stores, and that it be assigned to the QM
Dept. |
| Ordnance Department (Col. J Gorgas) |

| QM Genl for report |

| Respectfully returned to the Secretary of
War. The Ordnance Messengers referred to here have always materially
interfered with transportation upon the rail roads. I was not aware that
they had been appointed by the Chief of Ordnance, but supposed the
Secretary of War had directed the employment, otherwise I would have
applied for their removal. I have therefore no objection to present to
this application of the Ordnance Department. |
