| Sir, |
| You are instructed to communicate with Mr Rice
Superintendent of the M G Rail Road {Manassas Gap
RR} in regard to the engine (3) referred to in your dispatches to
Mr Rice and Capt Morfit. |
| Have the matter arranged at once, as there can be no
reason why this office should be annoyed with details of this sort, in
regard to which, it is not informed. |
