probably felt the adulatlon anu bad
advice of persons interested in causing
disunton among us, and committed Il
fault which fortunately had no con
sequences,
"He complained that tho troops did
not have SUFFICIENT provisions. and
wanted to lay the fault upon the per-
sons designated by me to provision ths
army: but the truth is that In the
storehouses we have more than enough I
provisions. so that the fault Is With
the provider Of his corps. who has not
n ttended to his duty. fs5 5.Nf
S''ffe told mo. also that he did not
like the persons whom had desienat.,3s
ed a s Cabinet officers: but told him
