| P. S. -- Colonel Hurt is absent. Many
ordnance stores are here and many caissons,
&c. On the 12th you ordered him to send them off as fast
as possible. I cannot get transportation for them, unless you will
give special orders to Mississippi
& Tennessee Railroad to place a train at my disposal daily till
I get all away. Shot and shell and other things are being
manufactured here, and they must be sent off too, but the same
difficulty exists. Will you please give the order and let me know? |

| Colonel Jordan
will please see Major Hurt about the requisition for a train for
ordnance stores contained in the P.S. to this rather long
dissertation. |
