Quartermaster General's Department
Richmond, July 23d, 1863
 
Major Mason Morfit
QM
Petersburg, Va.
  
Sir,
   The suggestions contained in your letter of the 21st are approved. You will relieve Major Branch of the general duty connected with Rail Road transportation, especially of Troops and freight in bulk, leaving him, as Post-Quarter Master to see to individuals claiming transportation, and local freight. Major Branch will also erect the necessary buildings for storage purposes, and pay the hire of hands employed.
   You can assume the control of the transportation between Petersburg and Weldon, and also Raleigh and will visit either of those places as occasion may require.
A. C. Myers, Q. M. Genl
