Since my letter of the 13th Inst. I have learned that Lt. Edward R. Platt is the only officer with his Compy. & if so I presume his services cannot be spared from his Regt., nor would I under these circumstances have applied for him. I therefore present the names of 1st Lt. Innis N. Palmer, Mounted Rifles, & 2nd Lt. A. J. S. Molinard 2nd Arty. as suitable officers to relieve Lt. DuBarry provided he is ordered to his Regt. Lt. Palmer I have understood is willing to take the duty, is on leave of absence at St. Louis, & I have thought might therefore be available.
