reprimand of the president of the court-martial and Kr H.
Ross as an act of insubordination dangerous to his owe
prospects, and to afford him as opportunity of withdrawing
the letter, and advising him to do al.) I believe the letter
now read was the one read to me by Colonel Crawley, and in

The President thought the letter of Lieutenant Fitssimon
having been withdrawn ought- to be treated as • nullity. At

The sergeant-major was always sorocapthied is the same
