Sir,
   The public interest suffers great detriment from the delay of freight and supplies. See where the detention occurs and take measures to have every thing promptly forwarded. If necessary send an intelligent agent on the route in my name.
   I have asked R. J. Owen President of Va. & Ea. Tenn. R. Road {East Tennessee & Virginia RR} to remedy the evil on the upper route. Use the Charleston & Savannah R. R. sometimes.
A. C. Myers, A. Q. M. Genl.
