Adjutant and Inspector General, Demopolis
 
   Arms and plenty ammunition was shipped by cars from Selma. Call on Major McCall to know what became of them. If men can't be armed of course no defense can be made. In that event everything should be brought to this side and nothing left for enemy to cross with. Instruct Major Whitfield to remove such portions of engines as will prevent the enemy from using them. The parts so removed should be brought west of the river. This last in case of danger.
By order:
W. F. Bullock, Jr.
Assistant Adjutant-General
