General and Con nissary General, tie business being
left amost entirely IN the management Of the init
named and neither The Adutant nor Comnissai
er:l taking any active interest tbertlu, or knowing
| much about it, The consequence that tho aching

created al excitement among he ola veterans
founded upon the helief that he intended, AMI -"
