Captain, |

An evil exists in reference to furnishing transportation to
soldiers by which they are compelled to lose much time upon the roads.
Under the new schedule adopted by the Rail Roads, time will not be
afforded the soldiers to procure transportation at Lake City or any
other point of stoppage. I would recommend as a remedy, that
transportation through to any desired point be issued by an officer at
this camp, or at Baldwin, so that a soldier, procuring a furlough, can,
at once, get his transportation before starting, and without wasting his
limited time in stoppages upon the Road. There are, I am informed, at
Lake City, tickets to all points, as far as Richmond Virginia which can
be transferred to, and used at this point. |
