Lieut. Col. G. A. Henry
Assistant Inspector-General
 
Colonel,
   General Beauregard directs that you proceed by morning's train to Camak and Mayfield and inquire thoroughly into the causes of the delays and detention of troops at these points. Their rapid transit to this place is of the first importance. Where transportation cannot be had, let them march to the nearest depot where it can be had. Report here each day the troops arriving at Mayfield {about 6 miles west of the end of the Milledgeville RR}, or expected to arrive, so that railroad authorities may be advised. It is important to know on whom the responsibility rests for the delays in hastening troops to this point.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
George Wm. Brent
Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General
