Lieut. Gen. James Longstreet
  
General,
   It will not be possible to furnish transportation from Franklin {on the Seaboard & Roanoke RR} for any of your command. March to Ivor Depot {on the Norfolk & Petersburg RR}, where the railroad, with such limited transportation as can be commanded, will be placed at your disposal. Capt. E. B. Branch, assistant quartermaster at Petersburg, has been telegraphed to inform you at Franklin of this arrangement. Please inform Captain Branch, assistant quartermaster at Petersburg, at the earliest moment you may want the cars.
S. Cooper
Adjutant and Inspector General
