| Capt. R. M. Hove |

| Sir, |
| I have the honor to report for the
information of the General Commanding That: |
| After having visited the different
Stations on the Mobile & Ohio Rail Road as far South as
"Meridian" Grenada on the Miss. Central, Canton by
communication (the General himself having visited that and Jackson)
and Memphis Tenn. I find my Department to be in good condition, the
Officers active, Energetic and prompt in the discharge of their
duties; I would here state that at Oxford & Holly Springs, the
quarter Masters were absent consequently, I was unable to confer with
them. |
| I would further beg care to remark that
the Department under the charge of Capt Le Baron at Fort Pillow, and
that at Memphis under Major W. J. Anderson deserves much credit for
the Energy and promptness displayed in saving Government property,
consequent upon the Evacuation of their respective Stations. |
| Very Respectfully |
| Your Obdt Servant |
| George Whitfield |
| Chief QrMaster |
