General Wheat told me yesterday distinctly that Capt Snider was at Portland but he telegraphs him at Grafton before I could possibly get back to see him & asks whether Snyder wishes to go into Evans or my regiment. Snider's answer was not his own choice but dictated by others. If Grafton was the proper point to telegraph Snyder why was I directed to Portland N Wilkinson 65W200Col", 1861/09/10
