Summary
Because of the captivity of Colonel Ward and the health of Colonel Bradford, Varick wants an officer appointed to fill the vacancy created by an additional resignation. Bradford has also indicated that he is going to resign soon, so anew head of the department is desperately needed. Suggests Mr. Henry Rutgers for the appointment.
