General, |

It has been reported to General Johnston, that sick and
wounded soldiers passing over the Rail Road running from Montgomery &
Mobile and those from Selma & Demopolis, westward, are frequently made
to stand the platform whilst the seats are taken up by citizens and well
men. He directs me to call your attention to the fact, & requests
officers comdg at Posts in your Dept, be instructed to see that in every
instance wounded & disabled soldiers are furnished with seats in the
cars. The guards on the Rail Roads should see to this. |

Very Respectfully |
