Title
Refusal of Recommended Furlough; Rule on Communication Between Sec. of War and Subordinate Officers
Description
Rejects Ellicot's request that a Captain Bowyer be given furlough, recommending that Bowyer address the issue through normal channels to General Hamilton. Refers to correspondence between Ellicot, the Sec. of State, a Dr. Dart, and the Sec. of War concerning Dart's worth as an agent of the government; informs Ellicot that it is improper for the Sec. of War to communicate directly with subordinate officers, whose requests should be routed through their commanders.
