The telegraphic order of December 9 is explicit. I gave no verbal order, but called at your department to confer with you in regard to military matters, and regret that I did not see you. If General McCalla [McAllen?] cannot speedily complete his organization, the companies enrolled should be sued to fill out other organizations. You will please arrange this matter.
