| Sir, |
| Agreeably to orders I yesterday took the
Company "Moore Rebels" under my command over the Railroad Bridge
{Galveston, Houston & Henderson RR} to
Virginia Point and back without any accident, but at the same time I
think it dangerous without it is floored between the railing. Otherwise
I think crossing of Cavalry attended with considerable danger. |
| I have the honor to be |
| Very Respectfully |
| Your obt Servt T. M. Hogan |

| {on back of document} |

Bridge crossing the Galveston Bay between the Rails of the road. |
