Sir,
   The Superintendent of the Richmond & Danville Railroad informs me that he can furnish two trains per week for carrying convalescent soldiers from this Hospital to Richmond, and suggests that the days for running be so fixed that the same train can bring the soldiers to Danville from Richmond and return with men going to duty. I would therefore suggest that you fix two days for this special train to run. It might come up on Mondays and Thursdays and return on Thursdays and Fridays.
  So soon as I can hear from you I will make the arrangement with the Superintendent of the road.
Very Respt Yr Obt Svt
