Colonel,
   Please inform me whether duplicates of the bridges over the N & S Anna Rivers on the Fredericksburg R. R. {Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR} have been already constructed, & If not whether there is any timber on hand suitable for the purpose. A letter from Genl R. E. Lee has been referred hither, calling attention earnestly to the importance of the speedy reconstruction of them & other bridges on the same line in the event that they are destroyed by the enemy.
Yours Very Respy
A. L. Rives
Col. &c &c
