| Sir, |
| You will proceed without delay to Wytheville on the
Virginia & Tennessee Rail Road and ascertain what arrangements can be
made for transportation of supplies to Genl Floyds command on that Road,
and what will be the most suitable point for a depot. |
| You will report to me from that point and there remain
further orders. |
