| Colonel, |
| Your dispatch of the 15th and letter of
the 16th have been received. Colonel Wright and myself will enter upon
the communication as desired by you. With your permission I propose to
have accurate surveys made, and map a portion of the country west of
Atlanta, embracing various crossings of the Chattahoochee river. The
appointment of Col. Wright gives great satisfaction. |
