| Supt. Transp. Agent |
| Q. M. Dept. |
| |
| Sir, |
| You will proceed by the train of this
afternoon to Lynchburg, and onward until you meet with Subsistence
Stores consigned to the Commissary at this point. |
| These supplies are absolutely required and
their receipt is essential to the best interests of the service. You
will therefore make the most urgent appeals to the Rail Road
authorities to use every possible effort, and to afford every facility
to have these stores promptly transported to this point. Delay will be
most injurious, and you are authorized to represent to the Rail Road
authorities, confidentially, the extreme and urgent necessity which
demand that this transportation be promptly afforded. |
