amount of extra work on the Road caused by the late Yankee raid, I find
the services of the following men (who are now in the field) are
indispensible to meet the exigencies of the present occasion, viz: |
| A Stone, J T Anderson, P O'Keefe, J M
Armstrong, Thos Allgood, J L Drumhjeller, Natt Eubanks, George Blandon |
| I you will get these men detailed it will
greatly facilitate the work. |
| Very Respectfully |
