Gen. Hunter Executive Mansion,
Leavenworth, Kansas. Washington, Feb. 10, 1862.

My wish has been,---and is, to avail the government of the services of both Gen. Hunter and Gen. Lane; &, so far as possible, to personally oblige both. Gen. Hunter is the senior officer, and must command when they serve together; though, in so far as he can, consistently with the public service, and his own honor, oblige Gen. Lane, he will also oblige me. If they can not come to an amicable understanding, Gen. Lane must report to Gen. Hunter for duty, according to the rules, or decline the service.
