| Col. Leventhrop cannot well be
spared, would not some officer not now commanding a regiment answer
your purpose. Whitford reports that the enemy will make a show at
Kinston to day to cover his attack on Wilmington. The expedition he
says has left Newbern. Artillery and horses shipped on the 13th. Help
us all you can with transportation. The government agent here is
acting for Colonel Wadley and will let you know what trains we
require. Will be glad to see you, when you are able to come. |
