| The provisions that are at Danville must be
sent forward in preference to troops. It is most important to send
supplies here, & men must wait. Communicate with Maj. Carrington
& ascertain & inform me as to the amount that we may expect to
come, in order that rolling stock may be provided on {Richmond
&} Danville Road. |
