FORTRESS MONROE, May 8,

My Dear Sir have just assisted the
Secretary of War in forming the part of
dispatch to you relating to army corps, which
dispatch of course will have reached YOU
long before this will wish to say a few
words to you privately on this subject.
| ordered the army corps organization not
only on the unanimous opinion of every nil
itary man could get an opinion from, and
every modern military book, yourself only
excepted. OF course l did not, on my own
Judgment, pretend to understand the subject.

Sumner Heintzelman, or Reyes. The COM
manders of these corps are of course the three
highest officers with you, but [ am con-
stantly told that you have no consultation or
communication with them, that you consult
and communicate with nobody but Fitz
John Porter and perhaps General Franklin.
do not say these complaints are true or
just; but at all events it is proper you
should know of their existence. Do the
commanders of corps disobey you in any
thing? When you relieved General Hamil-
ton of his command the other day, you lost
the confidence of at least one of your best
friends in the Senate. And here let me say
not as applicable to you personally, that Sen
ators and Representatives speak of me in
their places as they please without question:;
and that officers of the army must cease ad-
dressing insulting letters to them for taking
no greater liberty with them. But to return
are you strong enough even with my help,
