Sir,
   Agreeably to orders I yesterday took the Company "Moore Rebels" under my command over the Railroad Bridge {Galveston, Houston & Henderson RR} to Virginia Point and back without any accident, but at the same time I think it dangerous without it is floored between the railing. Otherwise I think crossing of Cavalry attended with considerable danger.
I have the honor to be
Very Respectfully
Your obt Servt T. M. Hogan
Lieut Comdg
