with enclosure with an Endorsement from the War
Department. "No action, anil accordingly l do
not send it to you. This communication WAS
published in New York and Washington about
the day OF its date, and has doubtless
been seen by you. and make the cxplana-
ton that You may not expect an official
copy unless you specially call for 1t. My own judy
ment is that your answer to a former communion
ton by the Honorable Secretary the eror was all
sufficient and perfectly satisfactory to TO whom IL

/ referred it, and that Mr. Schurzs rcjoinder was adj
dressed to the public and Ia In calculated
to reconcile conflicting opinions TO improve the con-
diton of tho Indians mako the instrumentalitv of
the army In Indian management more harmonious
and effective
For these reasons infer from q conversation with
the Honorable Secretary of War Mr. McCreary that his
opinion s-in which fully concur-that the contro-
versy, such. should end and therefore shall in
struct the Adjutant General to place this communica
ton of the Honorable Secretary the Interior on e
