DARIUS SHAw and JOSEPH W IDTTLESEY
GENTLEMEN,
When I had the pleasure of seeing you at St Louis, you presented me a Paper containing an association of 67 Individuals as a Military School; and desired, on their behalf an establishment of the said association, on the principles under which the society was first founded.- You also tender your services to the President of the U. States, under the law authorizing him to accept of volunteer com- pames.- During our conversation it did not occur to me, that you had neg- lected to nominate your officers, and i.n a subsequent interview with Mr Austin, I remarked to him this omission.- At that time, the law had not been officially communicated, and I had erroneously imagined that the President would make the ap- pointments, in conformity with the Recommendations of the Com- pany.- But the enclosed Prodan will inform you of the conditions under which he will accept your offers, and the Manner in which the commissions will issue.
