Greensborough, April 12, 1865 |

| Maj. Gen. L. L. Lomax |
| Danville, Va. |
| |
| The aid of your cavalry will be required
in executing the order communicated to Brigadier-General Walker this
morning, which is now repeated for your instructions: |
| |
Send cars loaded with the most important supplies to
break in road {North Carolina RR},
which, if not repaired, unload and return them to Danville
for other supplies. Should the enemy advance in large force,
sacrifice everything; save your command. |
|
|
| Recall your cavalry from the Valley,
bringing them and all others you can collect to this place, after
the shipment of supplies as above described. To economize
transportation, fully equip your troops from the supplies. What has
become of the rest of your command? |
