Dear General

I received yours of yesterday & have Ordered Commadore Wynkoop to Head Quarters, no other person in the fleet has disputed my orders. ー I be-lieve the Commadore was really of opinion that neither of us had, authority to command him, He now seems convinced to the Contrary, & sorry for his disobedience of orders. ー If it can be done with propriety, I wish He may be permitted to return home without being Cashierd I am very respectfully Dr General [&c.]
