Reported to-day
(according to requirements of army regulations) to the Medical Director for
instructions. I was astonished and shocked to be met by the reply that
"your assistant has been here, and reports that you have never been
commissioned." How pleasant to be associated in business with gentlemen. I
had no difficulty in removing the complaint, and think I have lost nothing by
the motion.
