| Transportation will be ready
for Conner's brigade at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning (Wednesday). You
will have the brigade in Richmond, at the Danville
depot {Richmond & Danville RR}, punctually at that hour. The brigade is going to
South Carolina
temporarily. Its wagons, &c., will be left with the division
quartermaster. General Field will be instructed to aid you in your
picket-line as much as necessary, and General Pickett will start a
brigade to take Conner's place at daylight. How many horses will
transportation be wanted for? I suppose the brigade will carry
between 1,700 and 2,000 men. |
| Respectfully, your obedient servant, |
| O. Latrobe |
| Assistant Adjutant-General |
| |
| A staff officer had better
be sent in from the brigade and ahead of it sometime to notify the
railroad authorities of its coming. |
