Thompson, a Brigadier General in the Missouri State Guard, writes to General Ruggles: "Can you inform me the custom in the case of an Officer resigning who has never received his commission, but who has been duly elected and served for several months?- or in the case where a man is undoubtedly and confusedly incompetent to perform the duties devolving upon him- Such is the case of one of my Captains and he is as anxious to resign, as his men and myself are anxious that he should."
