More from Andrew Johnson
It was to prevent such an appointment that I accepted the office of Secretary of War ad interim.
I transmit a report from the Secretary of State and a report from the Secretary of the Navy, with accompanying papers.
Until further orders from the President, you will assign no officer to the permanent command of the Military Division of the Missouri.
You speak of my letter of the 31st ultimo as a reiteration of the 'many and gross misrepresentations' contained in certain newspaper articles.
