Grant whether, in the conversation when

H'DQ's ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. II, 1868.
lis E.cceNency, Il. johnson, President o.
tie United STATES:
SIR: [ have the honor to acknowledge
| the receipt of your communication of the
10th instant, accompanied by statements
OF i've Cabinet Ministers, of their recollec-
tlon OF what occurred in Cabinet meeting
on the l4th OF January. Without admit
ting anything in these statements where
they differ from any thing heretofore stated
by me, l propose to notice only that Dor
ton of your communication wherein [ am
charged with characterization. I think it
will be plain to the reader of my letter of
the 30th January that did not propose
to disobey any legal order of the President,
distinctly given but only gave an inter
probation Of what would be regarded as
satisfactory evidence Of the Presidents
sanction to orders communicated by the
Secretary of War. l will say here that
your letter of the 10th instant contains the
first intimation have had that you did not
accept that Interpretation.
Now, for reasons for giving that inter-
probation 1t was clear to me, before my
letter of January Both was written, that |,
the person having more public business to
transact with the Secretary of War than
any other Of the Presidents subordinates,
was the only one who had been instructed
to disregard the authority of Mr.. Stanton
where his authority was derived as agent
OF the President.
On the 9th Of January 1 received a let
ter from the Secretary of War, copy here
wIth,) directing me to furnish escort to
public treasure from the Rio Grande to
New Orleans, &c, at the request of the
Secretary of the Treasury to him. I also
send two other enclosures, showing recog-
milton Of Mr.. Stanton as Secretary of War
by both the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Postmaster General, in all of which
cases the Secretary of War had to call upon
me to make the orders requested, or give
the information desired, and where his au-
thority to do SO is derived, Ia my view, as
agent of the President.
With an order SO clearly ambiguous as
that of the President, here referred to, it
was my duty to inform the President of
my Interpretation of it, and to abide by
that Interpretation until [ received other
orders.
Disclaiming any intention, now or here
tofore, Of disobeying any legal order of
the President, distinctly communicated, 1
remain, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
y. S, GRANT, General.
