| General, |
| In consequence of recent
demonstrations on the part of the enemy in the Third Military
District I am instructed by the major-general commanding to say that
you will hold at least two regiments of infantry in hand to move to
the support of Brigadier-General Evans at the shortest notice if
required. The train will be at Pocotaligo Station {on
the Charleston & Savannah RR} to furnish the necessary
transportation if required. |
