| Sir, |
| I have received your letter of the 15th inst. I give
you authority to arrange as you may deem best for the service for the
transportation of Army supplies through Petersburg. If you think the
warehouse you allude to necessary, rent it or provide other suitable
protection, at your discretion. |
