Knox says that Captain Lieutenant Kemper has been arrested "at the instance Colonel Crane for uttering expressions to his prejudice." Says the cause of the arrest happened after Kemper received his furlough "and a special permission from head quarters, and there he is of opinion the arrest must be nugatory as in the case of Major Reid, of which he has heard." Says he cannot determine what to do, and is referring the matter to headquarters for an answer. |
