I will take the liberty of suspending this order until I hear again. I will ask to have General Franklin assigned to the active command in the field under General Butler's orders as soon as he is fit for duty. U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General.

Specint said he would make the changes necessary to give me the troops in the field belonging to that department. I had only asked that I should not be commanded in battle by a man that could not give an order on the field, and I had recommended General Franklin or General Wright for the command of the department.
