| But one of your brigades can be taken
to-day on the cars {of the Richmond &
Danville RR}, and one can be carried to-morrow morning, and
the other the day after. The men will be shipped on the Manchester
side of the road and the horses on the Richmond
side. Arrangements have been made to carry about fifteen horses to
the brigade. You will relieve but one brigade this morning; the
other will remain in camp and only move as they can be taken on the
cars. General Kershaw, who relieves you, has been instructed to this
effect. *****
