Excerpt from Documents and Facts, Relative to Military Events
Department of War,
22d May, 1815.
Sir,
Inclosed you will receive the National Intelligencer, containing a statement of the organization of the military peace establishment of the United States, which you will be pleased to consider as coming authentically from this Department, and act accordingly.
I have the honor to be,
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
A. J. Dallas.
Brigadier Gen. Boyd,
New York.
The Hon. Wm. H. Crawford, Secretary of War.
In presenting myself once more to the attention of the National Government I am aware of assuming both a delicate and unpleasant office. It would have been far more grateful to have owed the exhibition of my claims to the justice and candor of my seniors in command. But their indifference and neglect have deprived me of so eligible a mode, and imposed on me a necessity as painful to myself as it will no doubt be irksome to the Government.
