WASHINGTON, Feb. 90, 1869.
His Excellency ANDREW JOHNSON, President OF the
United States:-
SIR-when you gave the order to have the re-
mains OF Captain WlrZ delivered to me 1t was GER
tainly your intention that should get the whole
body, and not o part OF it. The coffin, however,
which was delivered to me at the arsenal contains
only the trunk the head right hand and spine being
missing. II they had been retained for the benefit
and in the interest of science certainly would have
objection to 1t, would the relatives OF Cap
tain Wirz, In whose behalf l act. But the skull
OF the Captain, or some other part OF his body,
was about two years ago exhibited at the
Old Capitol Prison by discharged soldier
for money. For that reason. and no other respect
fully ask you to give an order that the missing parts
Of the remains of Captain Wirz, said to be at the
Surgeon Generals Office may be delivered to me for
interment along with the other parts on Sunday
afternoon, at three O'Clock. am, sir, most respect
fully, your obedient servant, LOUIS SCH AIDE.
