| General, |
| I have the honor to return
herewith the several papers from the Commissary Genl. referred to this
office by you, with a request that the complaints as to delays in
transportation at Augusta be investigated. |
| I beg leave to state that I
had caused strict enquiry to be made into this matter some time before
these papers were received; & a remedy had already been applied,
by changing the officer charged with transferring freight from one R.
Road to another at that point. In connection with these oft repeated
complaints of the Commissary Dept. I take leave also to enclose a
letter (and accompanying papers) from Capt. C. C. Sims AQM at
Augusta, which you will please return to me at your convenience. |
