Major,
   The attention of this Department has been drawn to the fact that corn is purchased along the line of the Mobile & G. R. R. {Mobile & Girard RR}, carried to Columbus, thence to Montgomery, and thence back over the same Road {the Montgomery & West Point RR} to the Army in Northern Georgia. This should not be, but corn arriving in Columbus should be sent direct to Atlanta. You will order your Agents accordingly.
A. R. Lawton, Q. M. General
