blessing on our endeavors, for surely we need It.

ferences between the commanders. And yet there
must be order conference, and union are lost.

the BAGS Banat, since you cannot go hther IN per

given TO you at Deva; Commander Banffy, gen
a-in-chief Of all the corps and divisions assem-
bled in BAGS Banat, Vetter.
Other differences have already got rid Of; but
Banffy appeals your orders TO justify him IN obey
ing no one but you, who are coming out IN person
or General Perczel. | have indeed given him the
necessary orders, yet respectfully ask you you

manders detached from your army, wherever IN th'

separated from your army they must regard a
their superior general the one whom the govern
ment has appointed TO that post. This IL now Field
