   I am directed by the Q. M. Genl. to inquire of you why you do not ship corn direct to Petersburg when there are trains at Danville from Petersburg. It appears that corn is still shipped to Burkeville to be trans-shipped direct to Petersburg & while there are known to be trains at Danville by which it might be shipped direct to Petersburg & which, it is reported, return empty. Your are instructed in all cases where it is possible to ship direct instead of to Burkeville to be transshipped for reasons that will plainly suggest themselves.
Ch. Morris Capt. etc for Q. M. G.
