General,
|
| I am instructed by the major-general
commanding to say, in reply to your note, concerning the destruction
of the rails on the railroad this side of the Mill
Creek
Bridge, that he wishes them destroyed, inasmuch as he has no means of
removing them. He wishes to know whether or not the bridges have
been destroyed on the Nashville
and Columbia
road {Nashville & Decatur RR}. |
| Very respectfully, your obedient servant, |
| John A. Buckner |
| Lieutenant Colonel and Assistant Adjutant General |
| {There are several Mill Creeks
in Tennessee, all near Nashville; which one is intended is not
known} |
