| I have given orders to the officer in
charge to use his best endeavors to take up the iron on the Ala
& Fla {(of Florida)} Road as far as
Pollard & to remove it to a safe place towards Montgomery &
to hold it subject to military orders for the completion of interior
Roads & to listen to no request from interested parties the iron
is not safe even at Pollard from falling into the hands of the enemy
who are now advancing upon that point in force superior in number to
that we can oppose. |
