nave concluded that you have not yet seen my
dispatches from Fort Gadsdep, OF the . h
last, which 1t is reported reached the
L''s-anent of War, by due course of mail,
ana owing to the negligence oil the clerks, was
thrown aside as bundle ot revolutionary aud
pension claims. This sincerely regret, as i
