Hon. Benz, Kingsbury, Jr:
Dear sir:-In deciding the question recently
submitted to me in regard to changing the time
for the elcampment of state troops, the only
alternative presented to nv mind was between
the date air ady fixed, aud an earlier date. A
change in that direct on was Jmpracticable,
has since been turned to the possibility of
poStponing the encampment, and objections to
this which appeared to be insu perdble when the
time was originally fixed having now been re-
moved, l have ordered the encampment for the
first week in September. Your wishes are
therefore met.
l am, very truly yours,
