| Send by rail to this place the men in
camps of Duke, Cosby, and Giltner, leaving camps guarded; also the
engineer company near New River
bridge. Direct Major Page to come by rail with one section of
artillery. Inform me how many will leave and when. Request that the
locomotive be not overloaded, as some of the grades are heavy. I
want Major Myers or Captain Sandford, whichever can be best spared.
I hear Witcher is in Logan. Direct him to move to Greenbrier or Monroe, and scout well toward Kanawha and Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. |
