| Sir, |
| Yours of 20th ult. returning certain papers
which had been referred to you for a report upon the application of Lt.
Perkins to be placed in charge of Transportation at Tuscaloosa, has been
received. |
| The facts stated do not in my opinion show
that a necessity exists for the establishment of separate Transportation
office at that point. |
