| I have just received an order
relieving Capt John Robinson of Engineers from duty in this Department
and ordering him to Knoxville. |
| Capt Robinson is engaged on
works which I regard as necessary for the defence of the New River
Bridge, the tunnel & tressel work on RR {Virginia
& Tennessee RR} in Montgomery Co. I beg that I may retain him at
least until I can communicate more fully in writing which I will do
today. |
