| Refers to QM Genl a letter addressed by F J
Sampson Genl Frt Agent R&D RRoad {Richmond &
Danville RR} to C G Talcott Supt of the said road, complaining
that the several Departments send freight to be loaded after five oclock
in the day and thereby keeping his men up from 9 to 11 oclock. Is
willing to do it if necessary but if not, asks that orders be issued to
prevent it. |
| Capt Mason Morfit |
| |
| Respy referred to the Commissary General
and Chf of Ordnance who are requested to have transportation orders sent
in all cases with freight and that the stores be delivered as far as
practicable in the day time. A C Myers QM Genl |
| Respectfully referred to Major Claiborne
for information. It is not believed that he ever send freight late in
the day when it can be avoided. S B Northrop CSG |
| I send not freight by the Danville Railroad
Company early or late. The receipts by the Road are always removed
promptly upon notice, removed all in the Depot last Sunday morning. The
prompt energetic work of Freight Agent Sampson has always met a hearty
concurrence from me. ? H Claiborne Major & CS |
| I have sent orders to Majors Stansbury &
Donne to comply with the suggestions as far as possible. J Gorgas Col &
Chf of Ordnance |
