| Sir, |
| You will proceed along the line of the
Virginia & Tennessee Rail Road and inspect the Quarter Master's
Posts and Depots on and near the line of that road, continuing your
progress as far as in your judgment, the movements of the enemy will
permit. Your inspections must be thorough, and their results
communicated from time to time to this Office. Your other orders will
be sent to you as needed. |
