| Send your Conscripts by way of
Clarksville and Keysville, on the Richmond & Danville R. R., if
you cannot get R. R. transportation the whole way. Hurry them on; we
shall need them soon. |
| Geo. W. Randolph |
| Sec. of War |
| {If the conscripts were going
from Raleigh to Richmond, this would require the use of: Richmond
& Gaston RR, Roanoke Valley RR, marching about 25 miles, then
Richmond & Danville RR} |
