Several of Gen. Winder's detectives came to me with a man
named Webster, who, it appears, has been going between Richmond and Baltimore,
conveying letters, money, etc. I refused him a passport. He said he could get
it from the Secretary himself, but that it was sometimes difficult in gaining
access to him. I told him to get it, then; I would give him none.
