Sir, |
|
I am directed by Maj Genl Lee to inform you that
instructions have been given to Major F. S. Blount, Chf. Agent of
Impressment, to have your road furnished with the full number of negroes
agreed upon as being necessary for its completion by Lt Genl. Polk and
yourself. |
|
You will please notify Col Blount that Genl Lee has
directed that the original orders should be carried out, and that the
necessity of the case would not admit of the delay which would ensue by
sending these instructions through him. |
|
I am Sir, |
|
Very Respectfully |
|
