More from Andrew Johnson
You here admit that from the very beginning of what you term 'the whole history' of your connection with Mr. Stanton's suspension you intended to circumvent the President.
I transmit a report from the Secretary of State and a report from the Secretary of the Navy, with accompanying papers.
My order to you had only reference to orders 'assumed to be issued by the direction of the President.'
You speak of my letter of the 31st ultimo as a reiteration of the 'many and gross misrepresentations' contained in certain newspaper articles.
