Quarter Master Genl
 
Sir,
   In ten days from this date, I can have the trains of this Company run through to White House provided I have satisfactory assurances that upon the new section of the Bridge ??ing the time a Sufficient Military force will be placed in such a position as to afford protection from the inroads of the enemy and to prevent our army from destroying them unnecessarily. Also that the Pamunky &  Mattaponi Rivers shall be kept clear of the enemys gun boats, so as allow the transportation of supplies from the Counties lying beyond the Pamunky to the White House.
I am Yours Respectfully
Alx. Dudley
Prest.
