Abstract
He appointed a field officer to meet Lieut. Col. Carrington, and did not expect that on business of that nature scruples would have arisen as to rank; he has no lieutenant-colonel to appoint for this service, and therefore requests Greene to appoint some officer of equal rank to meet Maj. Wemys. Copy.
