Maj. W. H. Taylor
 
   Superintendent {Virginia} Central Railroad states, in consequence of use of cars in transportation of troops {probably in response to Averell's raid on the eastern end of the Virginia & Tennessee RR}, no corn can be sent to army before Saturday. Let every exertion be made to supply deficiencies by collecting forage in vicinity.
R. E. Lee
