    I didn't read all the responses, so...

    Is this a pattern with your assistant and was this a reasonable request within the assistant's job description/function? If so, your mutual manager has allowed this, and there will not be a resolution going just to the manager. Try going to your boss's boss while quietly getting your resume together and putting in job aps. If you are in a "right to work state", they can fire you for smaller things or simply no reason at all.

    Is your request something outside your assistant's job function? If so, you are in the wrong for asking. Try again with a request that is inside this person's job function.

    Honestly, I would leave it alone for a bit and see if there is truly a pattern here. Once I'm satisfied of a pattern (perhaps documented by saving those emails), then I'd take action.
