| Colonel, |
| General Beauregard directs that you proceed
by morning's train to Camak and Mayfield and inquire thoroughly into the causes
of the delays and detention of troops at these points. Their rapid
transit to this place is of the first importance. Where transportation
cannot be had, let them march to the nearest depot where it can be
had. Report here each day the troops arriving at
Mayfield {about 6 miles west of the
end of the Milledgeville RR}, or expected to arrive, so that
railroad authorities may be advised. It is important to know on whom
the responsibility rests for the delays in hastening troops to this
point. |
| Respectfully, your obedient servant, |
| George Wm. Brent |
| Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General |
