It is hoped that the damage done by the recent rains to the
Demopolis R Road will be repaired by the 10th when all troops will be
sent by that route, except those who are to rejoin their commands at
Pollard. |
|
Major Dameron has been required to send every pound of meat
he can spare to Major Jackson, and, a train load of it is now delayed at
Cuba Station near Demopolis, awaiting repairs to the R. Road
{Alabama & Mississippi Rivers RR}. |
