In regard to the slow transportation by
road of troops from point to point. Suggest that some person be put in
charge of Military transportation who is practicably acquainted with RR
management & who is not connected with the companies. Recommend Mr Rice
late Supt of Manassas Gap RR as a fit person &c. |
