It is now 11 o'clock and Stuart has not reached here yet.
It will be five (5) hours after he leaves here before there can be
another shipment. Corse should not get here for five (5) hours after
Stuart leaves, Terry five (5) hour after Corse leaves, and Hunton. I
will telegraph to when to get here. Have you anything more for me
tonight? Answer. I want to go to bed. Capt Mayo is at the Depot to
attend to the shipments of the troops when they get here. From present
indication the Lord only knows when that will be. |
