Tuscumbia, October 31, 1864
 
Major George Whitfield
Quartermaster, Meridian, Miss.
 
   Give me all the aid you can in transporting twenty days' supply of rations for this army to Cherokee Station at once. Time is all important. I have asked of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad to allow their trains to run direct to Cherokee {on the Memphis & Charleston RR} to avoid reshipment at Corinth.
J. B. Hood
General
