| We have sent forward all
supplies offered for the army promptly except cattle we have not Stock
Cars enough the military have destroyed & carried off nearly all,
we cannot obtain others from other Roads Ga Road has a supply but
presently are carrying cotton to Wilmington. The recent bad weather
has prevented road below from bringing corn &c till Macon {&
Western} Road brought two trains & one goes up our road
tonight & the other in morning our trains could not make quick
trips with the wood we had during recent bad & freezing weather
Macon road is short of motive power. Montgomery road {Montgomery
& West Point RR} has an engine & two {?}
freight cars running with corn this road is not in fault except as to
stock. I go to see Genl Johnston in morning I write you this evening. |
