Sir, |
The operator here has just informed me
of important dispatches for you; also of a train that has passed up
the road {North Carolina RR} in search
of you. I send the dispatches and have ordered the train to be
detained here on its return to await your instruction. |
Very respectfully, yours, |
Richard Morton |
Colonel, &c. |
General St. John desires me to say that he has just
arrived from the furnace. |
R. M. |
