Comdg 1st Mil. Dist.
 
   I am directed by the Lt Genl comdg to say that guarding the trains on the R. Rs, as it is now conducted, is a complete farce. A day or two since h had to make an officer and five of his men leave the ladies car & take their proper places. In all cases falling under his observation, the comd officers having charge of such guards have shown themselves utterly worthless. The Genl directs that this be enquired into and rectified at once.
Respy &c
