Troops, wagons, artillery, and caissons must move from Chester
{Charlotte & South Carolina RR} to
Salisbury {North Carolina RR} without
reshipment at this place. Trains will be sent as soon as possible.
Remain at Chester until troops commence leaving and things are
working systematically, and the proceed to Salisbury and arrange
there, and push them ahead as rapidly as possible. Is Ayer with
General Stewart? |

| {This shipment without
reshipment in Charlotte was only possible if the North Carolina RR
gauge had been changed to match that of the Charlotte & South
Carolina RR, something Capt. Sharp would be put in charge of making
happen.} |
