Arms and plenty ammunition was shipped
by cars from Selma. Call on Major McCall to know what became of
them. If men can't be armed of course no defense can be made. In
that event everything should be brought to this side and nothing
left for enemy to cross with. Instruct Major Whitfield to remove
such portions of engines as will prevent the enemy from using them.
The parts so removed should be brought west of the river. This last
in case of danger.
