Title

Conflict between Col. Rochefontaine and his officers

Description

Major J. J. Ulrich Rivardi informs McHenry of a conflict between Col. Rochefontaine and his officers and strongly recommends a court of inquiry to investigate rather than a court martial, for the latter may lead to more publicity, more confusion, and more delays.
