eck, then general-in-chief, telegraphed me from Washington: There is a deputation here from Colonel Blair and others asking for your removal on account of inefficiency. Colonel Blair happened into my office a few minutes after the receipt of this despatch on the 11th, and I handed it to him. He at once said in substance, and with feeling: That is not true. No one is authorized to ask in my name for your removal; and he sent a despatch to that effect to General Halleck. The next day (August 12) despatches were exchanged between General Halleck and Colonel Blair, of which the latter furnished me a copy, inclosed with the following note from himself: St. Louis, Mo., August 13th, 1862. Brig.-General Schofield. dear Schofield: I inclose you a copy of a despatch (marked A) received yesterday from Major-General Halleck, and my answer thereto, marked B. Yours, Frank P. Blair, Jr. Copy A. To Hon. F. P. Blair, August 12th, 1862. (By telegraph from War Dep't.) Wa
