Annotation

[1] OR, I, XIII, 368. Halleck replied by telegraph from Pittsburg, Tennessee, May 2, that Brigadier General John M. Schofield ``has entire command of the Missouri Militia in United States service and the Volunteers in two thirds of the State He has been informed that his District will comprise the entire state as soon as Genl Curtis comes south. This is more than his rank entitles him to If he is intriguing for more he is not honest I would rather resign than to have him given an independent command in my Department. I have yielded much to the importunities of his friends but they ask still more.''(DLC-RTL).
