| In reply to your communication
of this morning I beg leave to state that Capt. C. R. Armstrong Chief
Agent of Impressment of Slaves reports that he is progressing as
rapidly as possible in his impressments. He was ordered some days
since to turn over to Capt Grant {Engineer
Corps, repairing the Georgia RR} 1000 negroes. He reports that
this order has been received and that he has ordered his officers to
turn over all negroes so impressed along the line of the Ga Rail Road
and the Macon & Western Rail Road at once. |
| It is hoped that these negroes
will be ready for Capt Grant in a few days. |
| Capt Armstrong's Hd Qrs are at
Macon and it is impossible to give you any more definite information. |
