I can only say that I am always ready to grant warrants to the Paymaster General upon his requisitions and that it is my intention to make every officer do his duty and when neglect or improper conduct is ascertained to take the most efficacious measures to prevent their repetition, or as the case may be, punish the party by having him dismissed [from] the service
