Major,

I have concluded to establish a general hospital at
Woodville, if it meets the general's approbation, on account of the
difficulty of transportation to Magnolia. No wagons can be had in
the country. I can have river transportation to Bayou Sara and
thence by a good railroad {West Feliciana RR} to
Woodville.
