| Just have information that the enemy
have struck the Macon road {Macon &
Western RR} below Jonesboro. General
Hood desires you to give all possible assistance to repair the
damage. Troops have been sent from here to prevent its destruction
as far as possible. Please communicate with Captain Hazlehurst, who
is somewhere below, gathering railroad iron. I send this letter by
Captain Shoup, my aide-de-camp.
