Annotation

[1] ALS, NHi.Meade replied on August 12:

``You seem to think, or rather such is the inference left on my mind, that I have made an offer to Genl. Hooker & that I desire his assignment to this army. Now in the frankness, which has marked your letters, permit me to say, this is a mis-apprehension on your part. My position is purely one of acquiescence. I wrote you, that if you desired Genl. Hooker to have a command under me I should not object, but you will pardon me, if I call to your recollection, that the proposition originated with yourself that the offer when made was yours and that I have neither entertained nor expressed any desire upon the subject.''
