   I am instructed by the Hon Secy of War, to take measures to have defensive works thrown up without delay for the protection of the bridges over the Appomattox & Stanton Rivers, on the Richmond & Danville R. R. & of the high bridge over the Appomattox River on the South Side R. R. If Capt. R. H. Fitzhugh can be spared, please order him to report to me for further instruction in connection with the proposed works. It is important that it should be done promptly.
Yours Very Respy
