Col. Bledsoe sent word to me to-day by my son that he wished
to see me. When I met him he groaned as usual, and said the department would
have to open another passport office, as the major-generals in the field
refused to permit the relatives of the sick and wounded in the camps to pass
with orders from Brig.-Gen. Winder or his Provost Marshal.
