Replies to Eustis's letters written on the 17th and 23rd (see GLC02437.04479). Discusses the situation of the invalids, particularly the invalid pensioners. Upon reviewing the subject with other general members, believes it to be impracticable to obtain a new inspection of the invalids. States that "the subjects of invalid pensions had better remain on its present footing for the following reasons..." Goes on to list the reasons, most of which deal with how the individual states handle their own invalids and finances. Also discusses his legal trouble with the Waldo patent.
