   I am instructed etc. to inquire of you whether you will be willing to serve on duty in the Engr Dept. and give up yr connection with the Rl. Rd. In case you should, the Maj. Genl. will be glad to retain you in service, but should you prefer remaining with the R. R. Co. it will be necessary for him to relieve you. He directs me to express to you his appreciation of the ability and zeal with which you have discharged your duties in the Engr Dept. & to say that he would be pleased to retain you in yr present capacity.
