Gov Jos E Brown
 
   Movements of troops is impeded for want of Rail Road transportation Rolling Stock of T&Va RR {Virginia & Tennessee RR} & of E. T. & Geo. {East Tennessee & Georgia RR} is beyond the burnt bridge at Strawberry Plains {on the East Tennessee & Virginia RR}. As it is of the very highest importance that a good locomotive should be at this place I respectfully ask you to send one {from the Western & Atlantic RR} at the earliest practicable moment.
