Major-General Carl Schurz to Edwin M. Stanton, September 28, 1863 – Received 10:55 a.m.


BENWOOD, W. VA., September 28, 1863. 
(Received 10.55 a.m.)
Hon. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:

Am I to understand from your dispatch that I am relieved from command? By the displacing of trains and cars at several depots, the different commands have become so mixed up that it would have been highly desirable, and rather expedite matters instead of causing delay, if they should be put in order. No train has been delayed so far, but the above difficulty is causing great inconvenience, which I desire to remedy. An answer to above question is respectfully solicited.

C. SCHURZ,
Major-General.
