Major General H. W. HALLECK, Chief of Staff:
GENERAL: I have the honor to inclose certain papers* relating to General Beall's case, having referred to them in a letter this day sent. My attention was called to the matter of the sign some days since, but knowing that it was a small tin sign attached to the glass door on the inside, I did not object to it and am, perhaps, myself at fault. If the weather permits we shall go to Fort Lafayette to-morrow, unless I hear by telegraph from you in reply to my telegram of this date.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
HALBERT E. PAINE,
Brigadier-General of Volunteers.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
