To D' Ayres, informing him that his letter has been sent to D' Wharry for that gentleman's explanations and report, and with reference to the concluding paragraphs of D' Ayre's letter, he is under a misconception in thinking that D' Wharry performs his duties unwillingly and that he is wanting in ordinary courtesy to his superiors.
