The Lieut. General Commanding directs that you will report
with your Command to Major Genl Maury at Mobile. As it is not desired to
interfere with the Schedule of the road {Mobile &
Ohio RR}, if the train this evening is unable to carry the whole
of your command, you will leave a portion of it to follow you tomorrow. |

Very Respectfully Colonel |

Your Obt Servant |
