His Excellency J. E. Brown

The railroad from Atlanta {Western
& Atlantic RR} does not supply our
wants. Our officers complain of great negligence in the management
of the trains and great delay from want of fuel. I beg Your
Excellency to consider that the army here depends for subsistence on
this Georgia railroad. If it does not supply us we cannot defend
this portion of the State.
