| Sir,
|
| For a successful defense of the line of
the Charleston & Savannah Railroad, with the limited number of
troops at disposal, rapid concentration at any threatened point is
essential, and to effect this I am instructed by the commanding
general to represent to you the importance of placing at the
disposition of General Walker at Pocotaligo Station a train of cars
capable of carrying a thousand men.
|
| Respectfully, your obedient servant,
|
| Thomas Jordan
