Colonel,
   A very fine Turn Table, which was left by the enemy in Culpepper, has recently been secured. The Presdt of the Orange & Alexandria R. Rd. has applied to have it turned over to him for use at Lynchburg. Please inform the Bureau as promptly as possible whether the turn table is more needed else where than at Lynchburg, and in what way it should be disposed of to the best advantage.
   An early reply resp'y requested.
By order Maj. Genl. Gilmer
