Mr. Polk pointed out that he was himself opposed to granting Dr. Johnson’s release from duty with the Mission, but in view of the fact of Dr. Johnson’s insistence that he should be relieved in time to reach [Page 402] New York by September 30, he found himself constrained to grant Dr. Johnson’s request.
