Weldon, N. C.
  
Sir,
   I have received from Mr. S. L. Fremont Superintendent of the Wilmington & Weldon Rail Road a complaint stating that the Quarter Master at Weldon has attempted to seize or impress a number of cars belonging to that company to transport corn from Halifax. This is not proper. I call your attention to the inclosed regulation published by Genl Lee, on the matter -- the provisions of which shall be strictly observed. When you need transportation for any purpose companies shall be called on, & when notified of your wants they will, no doubt, do all in their power to give support.
Larkin Smith, A. Q. M. Genl
