Fiala in St. Louis, thanking him for "copies of your smaller map [of Missouri]…I wish to use the occasion to express my obligations to you for the great aid I received from them during our operations here last year. It must always be agreeable to you to know that your work is appreciated and I therefore wish to add my testimony to the great value of your sectional Topographical map of the State. It has been most valuable and serviceable to me…. " After Fremont was relieved of command in June 1862, he had plenty of time to reflect on who had been of service to him and to write letters. He "awaited orders" in New York for the rest of the war.
