souri,, Chicago, Nov. 1. Geneneral Order
No. II. I hereby relinquish command OF

Indians have been 20 far subdued that in

has been my especial qualification that /
have had no disagreement with my sub
o~rdinates. and that from department
commander to private soldier, faithful SER
vice has been rendered to the Government.
With the assurance that I shall always
remember the h~ardships suffered and the
battles fought, the results achieved by the
gallant comrades who have lost their lives
in savage warfare, I resign Q command
that has been to me . pleasure as well as o
duty. Signed, P. H. SHERIDAN,
