| Major, |
| Some recent occurrences have recalled my
attention to paragraph 11 of General Orders No 95 -- November 25,
1862. |
| In view of the necessity of the
arrangements therein proscribed being thoroughly effected, I desire to
bring the subject to your consideration and to enquire whether in the
contracts with the several Rail Roads, in the Confederate States, full
provisions have been made to have seats reserved for
the sick and wounded soldiers transported upon the rail-roads, and
their supply with a sufficient quantity of pure water. |
| If not I suggest that such a provision be
added to all contracts, in which it has not already been inserted. |
