Col. BENJAMIN L. BEALL, First Cav., Comdg. Dist. of Oregon, Fort Vancouver, Wash. Ter.:

COLONEL: From recent information received from Washington by the general commanding the department, it is probable you will be cited to appear before the board for retiring disabled officers. The general desires me to inform you that upon the receipt of this order you will in consequence be relieved from the command of the district to enable you to comply therewith.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

RICHD. C. DRUM,
