| Maj., |
| I am directed by the Lt
General Comdg to say that he does not desire the Mil Supt of Rail Roads
to interfere with private transportation the object of having him
appointed was to have some one to see that a sufficient amount of
transportation is furnished the Government when needed said
transportation to be procured through the agents. Another object in view
was to see that Quarter Masters agents and others do not consume too
much time in loading and unloading cars. The Military Supt should in all
cases report such delinquencies as would have a tendency to be injurious
to the Confederate cause. |
