I was much surprised at the intelligence and decided to forward at once my formal protest against such a measure; but still thinking that there might possibly be some mistake about the matter, in as much as you had made no allusion to it _in your notes to me, immediately scribbled off the enclosed long, rambling and diffusive letter 2 ;; to the President on the subject, not pausing a moment to attend to logical arrangement, condensation, phraseology, or even OHTHOGIUPHY; which by the way I desire You to correct.
