Sir
I was informed last evening by Genl Magruder that he understood he was finally relieved from the order assigning him to duty in the transmississippi Dpt; If this is the decision of the Dept. I request to be informed that I may make some arrangements in reference to his Command in this Army.
I have the honor to be your obd servant
