Major, |

I have the honor to suggest that orders be issued to the military
commanders to take measures for the loading and unloading of Rail Road
cars, with as little delay as possible, at Rail Road Stations. This is
indispensable to a regular supply, and to avoid the great exposure of
provisions to the hot sun frequently for several days, a well as to
remove a pretext on the part of Rail Road Agents for delays generally
caused by their own delinquencies |
|
I am very respectfully |
|
