General, |
|
Your letter of the 9th inst. enclosing a copy of Col.
Jame's letter relative to the guard for the Bridges, has been received. |
|
I desire that you will ??? in the company for Guarding the
Bridges, and that you will insist upon the R. R. company's putting up
suitable huts for the accommodation of the guard at each Bridges as it
may be found necessary to guard by the military. |
|
This matter would have been attended to by me long since
but for a communication from the Governor, stating his intention to
receive companies for that purpose. |
|
***** |
|
The Gov. has ordered Col. Seventhorpe's Regmt. to report to
you. It is said to be the best of those stationed at Raleigh, but has an
insufficiency of arms. The delay in transporting troops on the N. C.
Road is such that it is impossible to say when the Regmt. will reach
Wilmington. |
|
Very Respectfully |
|
Your Obt Sevt |
