Dear Sir am honored with yours oil
the 9Th instant, and cannot sufficiently
express my thanks for your attention to
my letter OK the 10Th Feb. have the
pleasure to inform you that by the exer-
tons Of our friends in different quarters,
the army has been pretty we'll supplied

| If proper steps are taken by the present
Commissioners, or il there should be q
change for the better in mat capital de-
partment. There is, however, one thing
that fear it is too late to remedy, and
that is the neglect Of curing salt pFovis-
ions in season, 10 the want Of proper
quality of which in hot weather ] attf-
butte the prevalency Of fever and other
disorders in our army. There are COM
plants 10 every quarter of the remissness
Of payment in the Commissarv and Quar-.

to the msapplicat;on of public money, or
whether the Departments have no, been
porperly supplied by the Treasury, will
not undertake to determine, as none OF
their accounts either go through nv hands
or are subject 10 my inspection. A change
is taking place in the OR. Masters, and |
hope that rfthe gentleman who is in NOM
iuation accepts, that there will be CON
siderable reform.
The letter which you desired Doct.
Cochran 10 inquire about came safely to
my hands. The hints which you were
pleased to give OF Encouragement in the
North River command, came also from
several other hands, and did not little
embarrass me, as they contain charges
rather resulting from want of judgment
than any real intention to do wrong. 1t
is much to be lamented that we should
have officers of so high rank as to entitle
them to claim separate commands, with
so moderate share of abilities to direct
them in tho execution ofthose commands.
You may, however, rest assured that
proper steps are taking to introduce, il
the general course of service will admit,
a gentleman who | hope will better an
