Regarding the Cancellation of an Officer Appointment, with Mind to a Replacement
Description
Reports that a misconception had occurred involving the appointment of a Mr. Fowler as major in the 12th Regiment. McHenry advises the recalling of that appointment (which was never sent) and the substitution of a man named Fonda. McHenry believes the latter will make a better officer.
