Captain,
   You will proceed without delay to Farmville Va. & examine into & report upon the damage inflicted upon the R. R. bridge near that point {the High Bridge on the South Side RR (Bridge 13)} by the recent freshet, the time which will probably be required for its repair & the propriety of the reconstruction being undertaken, either in part or wholly by the Engr Dept.
Yours Very Respy
