Annotation

[1] ALS James Roddy, Rencho Mirage, CA. The telegram is written in pencil. The time appears to have been written as given in brackets, but was erased and ``905 p.m.'' written in the upper left---hand corner, presumably by the clerk. No communication from General Dix has been located to which this seems to be a reply. Grant's despatch to Halleck of June 19 reported his removal of General John A. McClernand ``for his publication of a congratulatory address calculated to create dissension and ill---feeling in the army. I should have relieved him long since for general unfitness for his position.'' (OR, I, XXIV, I, 43).
