| Major, |
| General Beauregard desires that private
freight be excluded from the railroad cars until Government stores
shall be transported. The road {probably the
South Carolina RR} has no right to reject Government freight
and assume the position that they will not receipt for it. |
| Respectfully, your obedient servant, |
| George Wm. Brent |
| Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General |
