HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
Washington, May IS, 1876.

SrR Your letter Of this date, received at about G,
p. m, as sat down to take hasty plate 'of soup,
demands prompt reply.
You have taken four days to reflect and to con-
vic me, upon my letter to you of the Dist instant Of
official, perhaps, personal disrespect to the constu
tiona commander-in-chief Of the army and navy of
the United States.
IF you have succeeded in imparting that impress
sion to the President then, by the conclusion Of
your letter, written in his behalf, am placed under
very high obligations to his magnanmy-ma |
not add 10 his kindneS?-n not placing me instant
ly in arrest, and before general court-martial. |
may then hope that the President saw no such in
tended disrespect; and ! assure you both that |
feel too great Difference to the constitution and the
laws of my country to offer to design an ndgni-
ty to our chief magistrate.
The strongest passages in my condemned letter
are, think, hypothetical. In it, | spoke Of "impa-
tience"-"perhaps in high quarters" Of perhaps,
utter condemnation, in the quarters alluded to-" Of
the "infnte importance Of securing myself against
danger (tL-tcH or precondemnatOn) in nv rear, ="
and of that "most perilous of all positions TO any
commander-"a fire upon [his rear from Washing
ton, and the fire in front from the Mexicans." And
also spoke Of the necessity Of "the active, candid
and steady support Of (such commanders ) govern.
ment" in the hope of conciiating it.
Now, if there be any offence to the President in
these passages-the intention Of committing which
utterly discalm-it must in candor, be found in
the meaning OF the passages high quarters" and
the quarters alluded to-" which qualify all the 9TH
ers quoted by you.
1t will he perceived that sror not Of the highsst
quarter, but, in the plural, thigh quarcrs;" and |
beg as an act Of justice, no less to mys IL hsn the
President, to say meant "mpatience," and even

fully accomplished.
But that did fear, and meant to express the fear
IN my hasty letter Of the 2lst that those persons
mere enumerated would, sooner or later, lmpart
their prec0ndemnation vi me 10 the President,
will not deny. My letter was written, in part, TO
guard both the President and myself against such
result which would have been fatal moi only 10 me-
but perhaps, for campaign, 10 the service of the
country. Hence the details entered into 10 show

in tins explanation. IL is written and offered
in good faith; in proof Of which | beg TO refer
to my letter to you Of this date in three hours
before the reception of that 10 which am now re-
plying.
You speak of my interview with the President

of Mexico. wish had the time TO do Justice 10

these interviews. have since often spoken of the

set purpose to discTedIt me the commander at

Mexico bear in mind with pleasure the many
personal couriesIes that have for long years, re-
ceived at your hands. But have for many days
believed that you have allowed yourself to be in.
hueneed against me by the clamor Of some Of the
friends to whom have alluded. To that source,
and from no lll-will Of your own have feared that
you had not made, and were not likely to make,
the just and easy explanations in my behalf, which
might be made. You also aware ofother causes
OF uneasiness have against the departmental the
want Of that confidence and support necessary TO

these points, which renders repetition unnecessary
Whether it shall be the pleasure Of the President

fer) or to retain me here, can only say, am
equally ready to do my duty in either position with
all my zeal, and all my ability.

HEADQUARTERS or THE ARMY,


STA: We have no report from you later than the

late the morning OF the 18th. OF course, not

little army, anxious to hear further from you
All the success that may be expected under the cir
cumstances is confidently relied upon.
Congress having recognised the existence Of war
between the United States and the republic of Mex
leo, and having authorized the acceptance Of 50 600
volunteers, the War Department has already called
upon several States for quotas OF twelve month vol
Understanding total Of about 20, 900, say one

points on the Rio Grande. or course, st this carly
moment, and at this distance from the scene Of in

been laid down. Being destined to the chief COM
mand of the augmented forces shall delay as much
possible of that plan until can profit by your
better knowledge Of the enemy's country when II Is
my hope to have the benefit Of your valuable ser
vices according to your brevet rank and with the
column that may be the most agreeable to you.
We have multiplied our force on the general 70

to bring up the pnvates of companies TO 10 or 60

quest Of peace. What you may have done since
the 26th ultimo, or what you may be able to

towards that general end-an honorable pcaco--can-
not now be assumed We may hope, that, with the
small reinforcements you have by this time received
you have forced back the Mexcans to the right bank
of the Rio Gunde, and perhaps may have taken
Maamoras, or possibly, by the greatly superior ar

SR have received no orders, as yet, assigning
me to the immediate command OF the army about to
be raised to conquer a peace within Mexico; but !
have been told to hold myselfin readiness for that
service. From that moment | have occupied my
self, necessarily, with the vast preliminary arrange
ments which can only be made advantageousy at
this place, through the respective chiefs Of the gen.
era staff-the adutant general, quartermaster gen.
eral commissary general Of subsistence, chief Of
ordnance, and surgeon general. have been much
occupied also in the distribution Of the quotas Of
volunteers needed among the several States; in APP
portoning the horse the FOOT in the study of the
routes Of march and water conveyances for the

tiers Of Mexico; in the study Of the northern inte
rior, and the southern routes Of that republic; in
looking to the means of transportation the Rio
Grande, 10 and BEYOND that river; in determining
the depots of supplies Of all sorts on this side, &C.
&c. ... ..l
As these matters are respectively settled, orders
and instructions have been, will be given to the
chiefs Of the general staff at this place. and the routes

depots for supplies Of every description, are finally
to be communicated to the unknown commanders
Of volunteers whose services are to be accepted.
