Secretary of War
 
Sir,
   I have to request that $2000 be placed to the credit of Capt. E. T. D. Myers of the Provisional Engineer Corps, to enable him to make the surveys necessary to a satisfactory report on the connection of the Danville and N. C. Central Rail Roads {Richmond & Danville RR & North Carolina RR}. This sum, I presume, should be drawn from the $1,000,000 lately appropriated by Congress for executing the above connection.
With great respect
Your obdt. Servant
Alfred L. Rives
Acting Chief Engr. Bu.
